Phacelia
Can phacelia be sown outdoors?
To grow phacelia outdoors, it's best to sow in spring or early autumn. It's important to choose a sunny, well-drained spot for sowing. Before sowing, it is advisable to weed the area thoroughly and loosen the soil by working it with a spading fork.
To sow phacelia seeds, simply broadcast them over the surface of the soil and lightly cover them with soil. Be sure to leave about 30 to 40 cm between each seed. Then tamp the soil lightly after sowing to ensure good contact between the seeds and the soil.
It's important to keep the soil slightly moist at all times until the phacelia seeds germinate and the plants reach a sufficient size to be transplanted. Once the plants are well established, phacelia will not need much maintenance, its vigorous growth providing effective competition with weeds.
