Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa)
Figwort is a hardworking perennial herb that will flower the first year from seed if started early. Great for medicinal use, cut flower filler and pollinator magnet! Recommended by Erin at Floret

Figworts are among the most prolific nectar producers in the plant world!
