Miami Mist
Gaining the common name from the misty appearance the lavender to light blue fringed flowers create as they cover the mountainous regions of eastern and central US. Miami refers to the Native American people of the Miami tribe of north-central Indiana.
Flowers bloom early to late spring and is also referred to as “Bee friend” phacelia as it is highly attractive to bees and other insects due to its large amounts of nectar and pollen.
