Firebush
Honeybees forage on Firebush for its abundant nectar, particularly valuable in late summer and fall when other sources diminish in southern regions. Blooms peak from June to September, offering consistent rewards, though tubular flowers may limit access compared to open blooms. It is a non-invasive native shrub in Florida but can spread via birds; prune to maintain shape and encourage reblooming.
