Blue Wild Indigo
Honeybees visit Blue Wild Indigo primarily for pollen, with some accessing nectar, though bumblebees are the primary pollinators due to the pea-like flower structure. Peak bloom occurs in May to June in most of its range, providing early summer forage. It has a deep taproot making it drought-tolerant but difficult to transplant, and it is deer-resistant with no invasive tendencies.
