  • Pollinator value: Very High.  Butterflies, native bees, wasps, flies; larval host to several moth species. 

    Also called Lily-of-the-Valley Tree because of the beautiful urn-shaped flowers that flay out in summer and persist into the fall.  Glorious red-purple fall foliage. 

    Honey made from Sourwood nectar is prized and sought after.  Best in acidic soil and away from urban stresses.
