Scrophularia lanceolata
This interesting plant may not boast flowers that seem showy to humans, but these extremely nectar-rich blooms draw in many pollinators, including bees, beneficial wasps, butterflies, and the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. This would be a unique addition to a shady pollinator or butterfly garden, as the bitter foliage is also generally avoided by mammalian herbivores.
Easy to grow, Early Figwort can tolerate soil that is moist to somewhat dry, and height and size of individual specimens will vary according to environmental conditions (available light and soil moisture, texture, etc.).
