Thrives in the same full sun, low water conditions as Phacelia
Direct-sow Phacelia outdoors about 2 weeks before your last frost. Seeds usually come up in around 10 days. Grow in full sun, spaced about 15 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 50 days.
Keep track of the seeds you own.
Water: Low · Height: 60 cm · Soil: Well-draining, poor to average — tolerates most soils
These three thrive alongside Phacelia — and alongside each other.
