Sand Plum
Honeybees are drawn to the fragrant white flowers for nectar and abundant pollen, offering a vital early-season resource after winter. Peak bloom typically spans March to April, aligning with emerging bee activity. As a suckering shrub that forms dense thickets, it provides year-round cover for wildlife but may need containment to avoid invasiveness in managed areas.
