Featured plant: California Bluebells

California blue bell. (Phacelia campanularia). Annual. Easy to grow if one observes it does not like to be moved so sowing in the place it is to grow is necessary. May be sown outdoors in the early spring. It grows to 8" and blooms and blooms. It will seed itself and spread. It is drought tolerant and prefers full sun, well drained soil, and occasional water when it is dry for a long period of time. It can not tolerate wetness. If there is a lot of rain or poorly drained soil, it will appear to melt.
