Elegant Lacy Phacelia is a no-fuss native wildflower that can really take the heat! This beauty thrives in full sun and tolerates dry soil, making it the perfect low-maintenance addition to your garden or meadow. Flowers are borne in intriguing curved clusters and open sequentially, gracing your planting with their delicate lavender-purple hue all summer long. Extra-long, whisker-like stamens and abundant nectar make the flowers beacons for butterflies and bees, keeping your garden buzzing with activity. They're a lovely and long-lasting cut flower, too! Lacy Phacelia can also be used as a summer cover crop, similar to buckwheat, to attract pollinators, add organic matter, and crowd out weeds. Or it can be planted in fall and allowed to winter-kill (if temperatures drop below 20 degrees F). The plants' deep roots "mine" minerals, making them available to subsequent crops. Plant this beauty among your vegetables — the flowers will entice beneficial hoverflies to lay eggs, and when they hatch the hungry larvae will happily consume any aphids pestering your plants.
