Blue Phacelia Phacelia tanacetifolia is an annual plant from the borage family. Originating from North America, it has been cultivated in Europe for many years as green material and as a plant supporting agricultural production. It grows from 50 to 100 cm tall. Its leaves are pinnate, while the flowers – intensely violet – develop spirally in characteristic coils. The plant blooms long and evenly, which supports its use as a nectar source. Very attractive to both honey bees and wild beneficial pollinating insects.
