Yellow Wild Indigo
Yellow wild indigo provides low nectar and pollen rewards to honeybees, though it attracts bumblebees and carpenter bees effectively. Peak bloom occurs in May during its April to June flowering period, offering early-season support for foragers. This deep-rooted perennial is drought-tolerant once established and requires well-drained soil, with slow initial growth but no staking needed.
