Everlasting Daisy

Xerochrysum bracteatum
In the United States: Naturalized · also called Strawflower, Golden Everlasting

Honeybees forage on everlasting daisy for nectar and pollen, drawn to its composite flowers during the extended summer-to-fall bloom. Peak visitation occurs mid-summer in northern hemispheres, supporting colonies with consistent resources in warm, sunny gardens. Grown as a short-lived perennial in suitable zones or annual elsewhere, it requires well-drained soil and full sun; not invasive but can self-seed mildly in disturbed areas.
