NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For Phacelia campanularia there is one Watershed record, a volunteer than has persisted for two summers, in a gravel patio located at “the north end of the San Luis Valley” (Debbie Stemier Westra, noted in theColorado Native Plant Society listserve, 20 June 2021). The species comes in commercial seed packets, and it is being used by the Colorado State Highway Service for roadside embellishment.
