Phacelia hastata, also known as silverleaf scorpionweed, is a flowering plant in the borage family that is native to western North America. It can be found in various habitats, including scrub, woodland, and forest, up to an elevation of 13,000 feet. The plant has a variable appearance, with a stem coated in silvery pubescence and gray-green leaves that are lance-shaped, oval, or divided into leaflets. Its flowers bloom in early summer and have a white or lavender fused corolla. The plant produces a hairy capsule as its fruit. There are four accepted varieties of Phacelia hastata, including the endemic Charleston phacelia and the compact phacelia found at higher elevations.
