Placelia
grandiflora ~ Giant Flowered Phacelia |
| Phacelia grandiflora is
native from Point Conception to Baja and through the San Gabriel Mountains
and Transverse ranges. Phacelia grandiflora generally grows in sandy
soils below 2000 feet. I have most often found plants on South
facing slopes but most any sunny location will do. Phacelia
grandiflora will grow to 3 feet or more and provide a profuse crop of
Giant Phacelia flowers during the Spring. It is common for plants to
come back in the same spot year after year from seed. The seeds of
Phacelia grandiflora will not appreciate summer water so a dry meadow
setting, or an area where weed abatement for fire suppression is a good
setting for this wildflower.
