phacelia

PLANT START – phacelia (3″pot)
the list of benefits that cover crops can offer a garden is extensive, and Lacy Phacelia is unique in that its predominant contribution is its pollinator-attracting power; a fast-growing annual wildflower that produces very attractive, ferny foliage growing 2-3 feet tall and topped with fascinating blue flowers that unfurl in a fiddlehead shape; as a cover crop, Lacy Phacelia aggressively out-competes weeds and will absorb excess nitrates and calcium in the ground.
