Jacob's Ladder
Polemonium reptans
Honeybees are drawn to the nectar and pollen of Jacob's Ladder flowers, which provide a valuable early-season resource before many other plants bloom. Peak flowering typically occurs in May across its range, supporting foraging during a critical period. This low-growing perennial is non-invasive, deer-resistant, and requires no staking, though it prefers moist, shaded woodland sites.
