Varileaf Phacelia
Varileaf phacelia provides abundant nectar and pollen to honeybees, making it a valuable early-season forage plant that supports colony growth. Its coiled inflorescences bloom from late spring through summer, attracting bees during a critical period when other sources may be limited. This short-lived perennial reseeds readily in open, disturbed habitats but benefits from occasional supplemental seeding to sustain bee-friendly patches.
