Conradina verticillata
In the United States:
Native
· also called cumberland rosemary, cumberland false rosemary
Honeybees visit Cumberland rosemary for nectar and pollen from its tubular lavender-pink flowers, primarily during the peak bloom in May to June. This rare, federally threatened shrub in the mint family attracts a range of bees but is particularly noted for small native species; plant it in well-drained sandy soils to support local pollinators without it becoming invasive.
