Phacelia, California Bluebell Originally native to the Sonoran & Mojave deserts in California, phacelia is a wildflower that is cultivated as a prized ornamental plant in our northern, Canadian gardens. California Bluebell is an easy-to-grow annual that will produce flowers of a most vivid blue early in the season. The low-growing plants reach one to two feet in height & bear a lot of vibrant-blue, bell-shaped flowers. California Bluebell tends to produce seeds & come back every year if they are kept happy, or the flowers can be deadheaded to prolong blooming & prevent self-seeding. Being from the desert, this wildflower is very resistant to drought & hot weather, but is still quite adaptable to various growing conditions. California Bluebell flowers are renowned by gardeners for their highly decorative ‘’true blue’’ colour. Especially stunning when planted en masse, California Bluebells are a great option to plant along walkways, in beds or containers. Hummingbirds, butterflies & bees love to feed on its nectar-rich flowers. - Latin Name: Phacelia campanularia - Life Cycle: Annual - Days to Maturity: 80 - Planting Depth: 2-3 seeds 2-3 mm deep - Plant Spacing: 15-20 cm - Growth Habit: 50-70 cm tall - California Bluebells are also sometimes referred to as desert bells & desert bluebells. - Very popular with hummingbirds, as the shape of their blooms makes a perfect cup for them to feed in. - California Bluebell seeds will remain viable for 2 years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 & 10C.
