Phacelia - Bee’s Friend
The loveliest lilac froth, phacelia is one of the easiest things to grow. I’m obsessed with it and I do an autumn sowing to have bucket loads of beauty to work with from late spring/early summer at a time where there’s a gap between Spring crops and Summer annuals. Not only does it makes a great filler for bouquets and design work it will also fill your garden with pollinators. The bees can’t get enough of it!
Self-sows everywhere, you'll only need to sow these once to have them forever! Cut them back before the seeds form to avoid them seeding in places you’d rather not have them.
Hardy Annual
