Fringed phacelia
Phacelia fimbriata
About
Phacelia fimbriata, commonly known as fringed phacelia, is a United States annual wildflower native to the Great Smoky Mountains. Phacelia frimbriata is known for its white flowers with distinctive fringed petals that bloom during the early spring period, and its preference for rich, moist forests at mid to high elevations. The species is most abundant in states surrounding the Appalachian Mountains because of its distinct mesic environments best suited for Phacelia fimbriata. Phacelia fimbriata was discovered in 1803 by a French botanist named André Michaux.
