Within my search for bee plants to propagate last year, Figwort was one. In the Snapdragon family I believe. This plant bloomed this summer, the flowers were highly insignificant, barely even a flower that I would really describe, the flowers appeared very tiny. But....yes, the bees loved it, as did many other garden beneficials. The plant grew about 3 feet tall by about the same width, very nice. I cut it back after the flowering had finished and it regrew all its foliage. Last week I saw that it still had all its foliage, perhaps an evergreen plant. Enjoy this beautiful day and life we live.
