California Bluebell Phacelia

Phacelia campanularia, commonly known as California Bluebell, desert bells, or desert bluebells, is a stunning annual native to California's Mojave and Sonoran deserts. Despite its desert origins, it thrives as an attractive garden annual in nearly any climate. This charming plant produces intensely blue, bell-shaped flowers that are irresistible to wild bees and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for supporting local ecosystems. Growing to approximately 70cm (28") tall, it fits beautifully in larger containers or garden beds. California Bluebell performs best in full sun or partial shade with average garden soil. Water regularly during hot, dry spells to keep the plant healthy and blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to prevent unwanted self-sowing and encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. Perfect for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly annual with striking color and delicate charm.
