Notes
'Lacy Phacelia' fiddleneck (Phacelia tanacetifolia 'Lacy Phacelia') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, and meadows. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it grows fast. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Viper’s bugloss, Cherry Brandy rudbeckia, and Heavy Metal switchgrass.
