Pollinator & wildlife value
Johnny's Selected Seeds' own growing guide for this plant calls it out as "a major bee-forage and beneficial-insect plant, also used as a cover crop": it's an agricultural-scale insectary crop (grown in border strips specifically to draw predatory/beneficial insects into vegetable fields), not just an ornamental that happens to get visited by bees.
