- Flowering period
- May–August
- Nectar

- Pollen

Ground Elder flowers from May to September in white umbels, provided it is not mown down beforehand. The nectar value is moderate to medium, the pollen value low to medium. It grows on fresh, nutrient-rich soils under hedges, along roadsides and in gardens and spreads vigorously by runners. Anyone who leaves it standing in a corner has an unassuming but steady trickle flow over months.
