Hi Dave,
I don't think it blooms quite that early in the north. Dr Szabo
said that in Ontario it blooms well in Aug., and stars in early Jul..
Somtimes provides a good flow from mid Jul right through to early Sep.
Another interesting tidbit was that he found that with some plants you
must have a certain amount planted to get honeybees interested- then
they will work it well. Smaller plantings may attract only bumblebees or
yellowjackets.
