The females make the nectar that bees love.

It’s NATURE, for Christ’s Sake! Planting in an area on the edge of the treeline and mowing(as we do in our back yard, we are NOT being irresponsible in having a source of much needed forage(nectar and pollen) for our bees when little is available for them in the heat of summer. My guess is that you folks have been brainwashed by Extension Centers.I WAS a Master Gardener and could NOT in good conscience tell people to use chemicals! We actually pot up bee plants and SHARE them with other beekeepers! I suggest that humanity needs to learn to “Bloom where WE are planted and read Doug Tallamy’s “Bringing Nature Home!”

Possibly MOST of the U.S. I think you give people way too much benefit of the doubt. Do you ever wonder why its not found in local nurseries? As a land manager who deals with invasive plants on a regular basis, I wish you wouldn’t suggest foreign plants for the masses. Leave these for the professionals please.

It’s a dangerous invasive and recommended planting is irresponsible especially since there are so many wonderful native trees available that support bees, other wildlife, and the environment as a whole.
