Phacelia campanularia - California Bluebells

Pot size: Deep 4"

California bluebells (also known as Desert-bells) are native to the Mojave Desert. They sport a hairy, unbranched stem, with rounded and toothed ribbed leaves. The flower cluster is made up of several bell-shaped flowers, and the purple/blue shade is deeper and richer than most plants' blooms. Incredibly low water needs; attracts pollinators.

Other notes and uses: CA bluebells pair nicely with other arid, desert plants to match watering needs. Because of their bloom timing, they make a wonderful addition to Natives Beds or garden areas. Wonderful for Butterfly and/or Bee Gardens.
