Henbit deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule)

Henbit deadnettle plays a crucial role in North American and Eurasian ecosystems. It serves as an early spring nectar source for bees and other pollinators when few other plants are blooming. Birds are also attracted to its seeds, and humans can consume its leaves, stems, and flowers either raw or cooked. This plant's presence supports pollinator health and biodiversity, making it a valuable ecological component.
