Foxglove Beardtongue is a fantastic plant for bees, especially long-tongued bees. It produces plenty of nectar that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds, as well. The white, tubular flowers appear just as the spring wildflowers are finishing up. This is good timing for the insects seeking pollen and nectar.

It is typically found in pastures, prairies, savannas, and woodland edges, but is adaptable to a wide range of conditions.
