Cenizo

Bees visit the tubular flowers primarily for nectar, which is produced in noticeable quantities during periodic flushes triggered by rainfall or humidity changes. Peak activity occurs in intermittent bursts from late spring through fall in subtropical climates. The drought-tolerant evergreen shrub requires well-drained alkaline soil and full sun; it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape but has no common issues with deer browsing or staking.
