Sweetshrub

Honeybees visit sweetshrub for its nectar and pollen during the spring to early summer bloom period, with peak flowering in May and June providing a reliable forage source in its native range. This deciduous shrub grows 6-10 feet tall and can form colonies via suckering, which may require occasional management to control spread. It is generally pest-free and deer-resistant, thriving in moist, well-drained soils.
