Wisteria frutescens

· also called american wisteria
Honeybees visit American wisteria for its nectar and pollen during its mid-spring bloom, providing an early-season forage source. Peak bloom occurs in April to May, with flowers in drooping racemes. As a native woody vine, it requires sturdy support and pruning but is non-invasive and deer-resistant, unlike Asian wisterias.
