Dwarf Fireweed
Honeybees visit Chamerion latifolium for its abundant nectar and pollen, making it a valuable summer forage in suitable climates. Peak bloom aligns with June through August in northern latitudes, providing a reliable flow during colony expansion. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained gravelly soils, with plants forming low mats that require minimal maintenance but benefit from division to prevent overcrowding.
