Robin's Plantain

Honeybees forage on Robin's plantain mainly for abundant pollen in early spring, with limited nectar due to the small flower size. Peak bloom aligns with May in its range, offering crucial early-season support for colonies building up after winter. This rhizomatous perennial forms a non-invasive ground cover, tolerating dry soils but preferring some moisture; it may need protection from deer browsing in open areas.
