Whorled Clary flowers from June to September in dense flower whorls and provides both nectar and pollen. The nectar value is good, the pollen value low to good, and foraging continues throughout the whole flowering period. It grows on warm, dry, base-rich soils along roadsides, embankments and in perennial beds. Because of its long flowering period it is a good bridge between the early-summer and late-summer flow.
