Lance-Leaved Figwort (Scrophularia lanceolata), and figworts in general, offer a substantial quantity of nectar, notably attracting bumblebees and bees but also butterflies and other insects, as well as birds such as the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The Lance-leaved Figwort, a herbaceous plant native to North America, is regarded a pollinator magnet and a must for pollinator gardens.. Their easy-care and cultivation permits continuous observation of visiting pollinators. Propagation can be achieved through seeds, rhizomes, or division. Traditionally, figworts were used by indigenous people and herbalists in medicine for skin conditions, lymphatic support, and inflammation.
Although not conventionally featured in ornamental gardens due to their lack of aesthetic appeal, these plants can play an important role in native plant restoration gardens and initiatives. Their distinctive ability to attract pollinators and wildlife makes them invaluable in preserving biodiversity. In addition, once established, they require minimal maintenance. Plant them in well drained soil in partial to full sun.
