Sulphur Buckwheat
Honeybees forage heavily on sulphur buckwheat for its abundant nectar and pollen, yielding a strong, dark honey in its range. Peak bloom aligns with summer months from June to August, offering consistent support during dry periods. This drought-tolerant subshrub thrives in rocky, well-drained soils with minimal maintenance, though it may need protection from winter wet in colder zones.
