Phacelia tanacetifolia—Lacy Phacelia or Scorpion Weed Seeds
This easy to grow flowering annual is originally native to the SW US and can be found in northern Mexico as well. It's known for its distinctive curved cyme with its terminal blooms and feathery tansy-like leaves.
Pollinators love its flowers so this plant is now more widely planted as a cover crop and is used for agricultural and horticultural purposes. It can be used as a green manure too but, more importantly, it is also considered a great plant for biological pest control. Since it attracts hoverflies, which enjoy eating aphids and other insect pests, this plant is useful in gardens as well if you're looking for natural alternatives to spraying for bugs.
