Phacelia quickii is an annual herb growing decumbent or erect with a stem reaching up to 18 centimeters long. It is hairy and sometimes glandular. The leaves are linear or lance-shaped and up to 5 centimeters long. [2] The inflorescence is a one-sided curving or coiling cyme of bell-shaped flowers. Each flower is about half a centimeter long, lavender to blue or white in color, and surrounded by a calyx of long, narrow sepals.
It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada of California, where it can be found on granite substrates in mountain habitat.
