Lacy Phacelia is an annual wildflower native to the southwestern US that grows well in full sun and dry soils or well-drained soils. It is drought resistant and will not grow well if overwatered. This wildflower has a high nectar content and Spring blooming period (March through May) which works well for attracting bees and other beneficial insects. It can as be used as a cover crop alone or in a mix because Lacy Phacelia competes strongly with weeds and can help improve organic matter content in the soil.
