At last, true-true royal blue for the garden. Phacelia viscida is a rare, fast-growing California native annual with radiant blue flowers that look almost too vivid to be real. Multi-branching plants reach about 3' tall and 2' wide, carrying masses of 1" blooms that glow in borders, native plantings, pollinator gardens, and meadow-style beds.

Also known as sticky phacelia, this long-blooming wildflower is loved by bees and brings a fresh, electric color that pairs beautifully with California poppies, tidy tips, clarkias, gilia, grasses, and other native annuals. Its airy habit and saturated blue flowers make it a wonderful choice for adding seasonal movement and pollinator value.

Plant Phacelia viscida in part shade with rich, well-drained soil for best performance. Feed once or twice for a fuller show, and allow a few plants to set seed if you want it to self-sow. Explore more wildflower favorites in our California Native Annuals collection.
