Gray’s Biscuitroot

Lomatium grayi
In the United States: Native · also called Gray's desert-parsley

Gray’s Biscuitroot provides early-season pollen and some nectar to honeybees in arid, open environments. Peak bloom aligns with April through June in temperate climates, supporting foragers during spring buildup. It thrives in well-drained, dry soils with low water needs and is generally resistant to browsing.
