Alpine Forget-Me-Not

Myosotis alpestris
In the United States: Native · also called alpine forget-me-not

Honeybees primarily visit alpine forget-me-not for its abundant pollen, though nectar rewards are minimal. Peak bloom hits in early to mid-summer, providing an early-season forage boost in cooler climates. This low-growing perennial requires consistently moist, well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, but may need division every few years to prevent decline.
