Phacelia is ultimately the best bee flower there is. If you sow a patch of phacelia in your garden, you will find that it buzzes with life right there. They attract bees, butterflies and all kinds of other insect life.
In addition, phacelia is an extremely beautiful flower that is excellent as a cut flowers for country bouquets, where it can last much longer than you expect and phacelias flowers can actually also be enjoyed in a salad or on a piece of smørrebrød.
Phacelia is also used in agriculture (and in the vegetable garden) to nourish and loosen the soil as a green manure. Here it is sown late - in July-August - and does not have time to flower before the frost sets in.
Phacelia is a plant that adapts to the conditions - if it is given space, it will grow wide and produce many flowers, if it is not given much space, it will grow tall and produce few flowers, so it fits in everywhere.
Phacelia is one of the most useful and beautiful plants you can have in your garden.
