Epilobium canum

Native

Honeybees visit for late-season nectar when other sources dwindle, though tubular flowers primarily attract hummingbirds; peak bloom occurs August to October in full sun with well-drained soil. This drought-tolerant subshrub spreads by rhizomes but is not invasive, requiring occasional division to manage growth.
