Description

Phacelia, also known as “Blue Tansy”, is an annual, medicinal herb to 60-80cm. It has masses of scented mauve flowers which attract pollinators. Sow the seeds directly where they are to grow – the plant does not like root disturbance. The plants will grow in full sun to part shade and can be grown in containers. Phacelia can be used as a green manure crop. It self-seeds readily.
