This lovely quirky mauve-purple flower is mesmerizing to look at and shines as a pollinator.
Phacelia, also known as Bee’s Friend, attracts pollinators like a magnet. It is a wonderful plant to have in your flower garden or main garden. Plant it by your cucumbers and zucchini to attract pollinators.
Phacelia grows to a height of about 24 inches.
It is hardy and drought tolerant and grows well in sunny or part shady areas. It is an easy flower to grow and chances are you will have enough for the pollinators and a few to spare, which is great, because they also make a beautiful cut flower.
