Bluebells: Desert - Seeds & Bulbs

Bluebells, Desert
(Phacelia campanularia)

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 the flower beds. A useful suggestion - sow little strips of bluebells between vegetable rows. The beautiful flowers will be covered with butterflies and bees.
