Description
In addition, the Moldavian dragonhead is a beautiful, very nectar-rich flowering plant that enriches every flower bed. The blue-violet and sometimes white blossoms look like a dragon's mouth about to spit fire immediately. They are constantly visited by bees and other insects, which is why dracocephalum is said to be an even better and more productive melliferou plant than phacelia.
