The Phacelia will attract insects for miles.I INCLUDED CALIFORNIA STATE INFORMATION, FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO READ:Phacelia tanacetifolia is a species in the Boraginaceae (Borage) family known by the common name Lacy Phacelia. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, but it is now used in many places in agriculture as a cover crop, a bee plant, an attractant for other beneficial insects, and an ornamental plant. It is planted in vineyards and alongside crop fields, where it is valued for its long, coiling flower clusters of nectar-rich flowers which open in sequence, giving a long flowering period. It is a good insectary plant, attracting pollinators such as honey bees. It is also attractive to hoverflies (family Syrphidae), which are useful as biological pest control agents because they eat aphids and other pests. This is an annual herb which grows erect to a maximum height near 100 centimeters. The wild form is hairy and coated in stiff hairs. The leaves are mostly divided into smaller leaflets deeply and intricately cut into toothed lobes, giving them a lacy appearance. The very hairy flower cluster is a one-sided curving or coiling cyme of bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue and lavender. Each flower is just under a centimeter long and has protruding whiskery stamens. The seeds are "negatively photoblastic" or photodormant, and will only germinate in darkness.
