How to Seed Desert Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia)

1. When to Sow: Sow directly outdoors in spring or autumn, as these flowers prefer to be sown where they will bloom.

2. Soil: Thrives in sandy, well-drained soil with full sun. Tolerates poor, dry soils, making it ideal for wildflower or rock gardens.

3. Sowing: Scatter seeds thinly over prepared soil and press gently. Cover very lightly with a fine layer of soil (about 2–3 mm).

4. Watering: Water lightly after sowing. Once established, plants are drought-tolerant but will flower better with occasional watering.

5. Germination: Seeds sprout in 7–14 days at 15–20 °C.

6. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 15–20 cm apart for healthy growth.

7. Care: Requires little care—weed control and occasional watering during long dry spells.
