    I have the same pack of seeds for bees and was thinking of using them around my fruit. I don’t have asparagus but I believe it may be quite fussy about having other plants growing close to it.

    In fertile soil phacelia can grow very large, consider competion with other plants. Best sown thinly near crops that benefit from bee/insect pollination, don’t forget to save seed for next year.
