Can phacelia be sown outdoors?
Sow phacelia directly where it will grow, in weed-free, finely prepared soil in a sunny spot. Choose conditions suitable for germination according to your climate and the packet. Autumn sowing requires a sufficiently mild winter.
To cover a bed with green manure, scatter the seeds evenly at the rate specified on the packet. Rake them in lightly, firm gently and water with a fine spray.
Keep the soil slightly moist until seedlings emerge. The plants stay where they were sown: this sowing does not require transplanting.
How do you cut phacelia for its intended use?
