Check out Purple Phacelia strutting her stuff! This cute wildflower grows natively in our Carolina mountains but grows happily in the Piedmont in shade gardens. Foliage gives off fern vibes. Mason bees, especially, will say thank you for this early food source. Low maintenance #Phaceliabipinnatifida
