Golden alexander
Golden alexanders offers honeybees an important early-season nectar and pollen source during late spring when floral resources are limited, helping to build up emerging colonies. Peak bloom hits in May, with flowers accessible to short-tongued bees including honeybees. It is short-lived but self-seeds to persist; prefers moist, well-drained soils but tolerates partial shade and drier conditions.
