Fireweed at Refuge CoveFireweed at Refuge Cove
(Epilobium angustifolium)
Fireweed is found throughout most of Alaska. Its lovely pink blossoms grow from a stock 3-10 feet tall, blossoming from July through August. As the blossoming season ends, white feathery seed casings replace blloms along the stock. Spring shoots are edible and its nectar makes delightful honey.
