Phacelia
Bloom time: Spring and summer.
Phacelia has long been used as an agricultural cover crop, or "bee crop," as its nectar-rich flowers are intensely attractive to bees. The flowers open over an extended period, and also attract hoverflies and other beneficial insects that prey on aphids and similar pests. This furry-leafed plant is a relative of borage in the family Borainaceae.
Phacelia
Hardy Annual (HA)
Phacelia tanacetifolia
Pale, mauve-blue, fragrant flowers unfold like ferns at the top of long leafy stems and attracts bees for miles around. The delicate, lacy foliage bears a resemblance to yarrow. It fits in the vegetable garden as a cover crop or in a garden bed for quirky flowers. Direct sow or broadcast April to June. Phacelia grows to 23cm (9") in full sun or part shade.
