Chocolate Daisy
Berlandiera lyrata
In the United States:
Native
· also called chocolate daisy, chocolate flower, lyreleaf greeneyes
Honeybees forage on Chocolate Daisy for nectar and pollen during its extended bloom from spring to fall, supporting colonies through summer; the plant's Asteraceae flowers provide accessible rewards though nectar composition may favor native bees slightly more. Peak bloom occurs in summer, with flowers opening in the morning. Drought-tolerant and reseeds readily in dry, sunny sites but requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
