DRAGONHEAD 
(Dracocephalum ruprechti) 
This plant from Turkestan is little known to the bee- 
keepers yet it is one of the finest honey plants available. 
It is long lived, easy to grow and swarms with bees for 
weeks from late June to September. It appears to be 
especially desirable to plant for holding steep banks and 
similar places to stop soil erosion. The purple flowers 
are quite ornamental although not showy. Once it be- 
comes well known this plant is likely to be widely used 
for bee pasture.
