Lacy Phacelia [ Phacelia Tanacetifolia ] is a desert species that is native to California but has naturalized throughout the western United States. The flowering portion of the stalk is curled, slowly unwinding to reveal lavender colored flowers at maturity. Plants have lovely lavender - blue colored flowers that are not overly large and showy but make a nice mass blooming effect with thousands of flowers produced in crowded heads over many months. The flowers have fragrance reminiscent of grapes.Lacy Phacelia [ Phacelia Tanacetifolia ] is grown as annuals that willingly self seed. The stamens radiate outward, twice as long as the petals, giving the plant an unusual appearance. The foliage is lacy and a medium green color and the stems are often tinted reddish. The flowers are a rich source of nectar, so the plant is occasionally grown commercially as a crop for bees. The plant blooms well inside and only in five weeks from germination. Plants are durable and long blooming - they will self sow on open ground. The plant attracts to bees, butterflies, and birds.
