Siberian Fritillary

Honeybees visit this early-spring bloomer for accessible nectar and pollen, supporting foraging during a period when few other sources are available. Peak bloom occurs in May to June in temperate climates, with flowers producing scented nectar that attracts pollinators despite primary fly pollination. It thrives in moist, organically rich soils in partial shade and may require division of bulbs every few years to maintain vigor, though growth is slow.
