Common Bistort flowers from May to July in dense pink spikes on damp upland meadows and in floodplains. The nectar value is good, the pollen value moderate to medium. It needs damp to alternately moist, nutrient-rich soils and forms large stands there. In grassland regions with late mowing it is a good early-summer flow.
