HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, planting 1/4" below the soil surface since this plant needs darkness to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. If starting the seed indoors, keep in mind that the best temperature for germination is 55-60 degrees F.
Growing: Water seedlings until they become established; control weeds. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, and flourish in rocky or sandy soil. They also grow well in average garden soil. Deadhead spent blossoms unless seeds are wanted. This plant often self-sows, and is highly attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the plant begins to turn brown, the Lacy Phacelia seeds will begin to ripen on the stem. Gather the seeds as soon as they have turned brown; watch them carefully to prevent loss, since Lacy Phacelia seeds can easily drop. Store Phacelia Tanacetifolia seeds in a cool, dry place.

Phacelia tanacetifolia seeds
I've received the seeds in a timely manner, but haven't had a chance to plant them yet. Too early for Michigan weather. - k
Waiting to see!
The seeds are beautifully packaged, & there were lots of them. Our season's off to an odd start, so it may be awhile until I know how this turns out!
best bee forage
I like the way the seed is packaged and very clear directions. this is a marvelous bee plant and is also beautiful. Cut back the dead flowers for rebloom supposedly, haven't done that previously. These did well in my natural meadow garden despite lack of rain for extended period.

Never grown these, so I'm hoping they will flourish in my cutting gardens. Of all the seeds I've ordered this spring- this is the ONE I'm most excited about!!! I think they will look awesome in arrangements.
Cover crop
I am eager for the excellent honey that these flowers are known for.
