About Rocky Mountain Bee Plant

Rocky Mountain Bee Plants are native to the western United States and are typically found growing west of the Rockies, from Canada to Arizona. The nectar-filled blossoms attract a diverse array of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and wasps. Plants can grow as tall as 2-5 feet and have a long blooming season: anytime from May through September, depending on location and elevation. They are drought-tolerant and suitable for xeriscaping and can grow in full sun or light shade.

Planting Rocky Mountain Bee Plant

Seeds should be planted into a weed-free seedbed in early spring or as a dormant planting in late fall after the last frost. Plant at a depth of ¼- to ½-inch. After one growing season, Rocky Mountain Beeplant is likely to reseed in relatively low numbers. It is not a perennial but will drop its seeds before it dies, which will self-sow for the next growing season.
