Coyote Mint

Monardella villosa

Honeybees forage on coyote mint for its rich nectar and pollen, especially valuable during summer nectar dearths. Blooms peak from late spring through summer, attracting a wide range of pollinators. This aromatic perennial thrives in well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant once established, with no major management issues noted.
