Bluebells Desert
Phacelia campanularia
Annual. Luminous, upward-facing chalices glow in the spring garden. Tough and easy desert bluebells laugh off the most inhospitable conditions. For the greatest impact, plant in large numbers. Plant in spaces between paving stones, in rock gardens, and in the front of flower beds. Sow narrow strips of bluebells and violas between vegetable rows! Beautiful little flowers will be covered with butterflies and bees!
