This lends itself to being sown often and dug in when small. Sow between early March to the end of September. After 1-3 months dig in before flowering. It is much harder to dig in if you allow it to flower however if you can sow some to flower near your beans they will help attract pollinators. Phacelia is not fussy about soil type.
