The Bluebells
Desert, 'Phacelia
campanularia',
captures the
magnificence of the
desert wildflower
show in your garden.
The Bluebells
luminous,
upward-facing
chalices glow in the
spring garden The
tough and easy
Desert Bluebells
laugh off the most
inhospitable
conditions. The 1
inch wide flowers
are produced in
clusters several
inches across. They
bloom in the spring
for 4 to 5 weeks..
The beautiful blue
flowers will attract
butterflies.
Desert Bluebells
prefer full sun in
cool overcast
regions and partial
shade where summer
heat and sun are
intense. Soils
should be well
drained and not
excessively watered.
Plant in early
spring 3 to 4 weeks
before the the
average last frost
date, and in mild
climates, sow them
in the fall.
Bluebells are
excellent in
wildflower
plantings, rock
gardens, and in
containers.
