Lacy Phacelia grows fast and is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, but it is now used in many places in agriculture as a cover crop, a bee plant, an attractant for other beneficial insects, and an ornamental plant. It attracts pollinators such as honey bees and butterflies. It is also attractive to hoverflies (family Syrphidae), which are useful as biological pest control agents because they eat aphids and other pests. This is an annual herb which grows erect to a maximum height near 100 centimeters.
