globemallow
Honey bees visit desert globemallow for its abundant nectar and pollen, particularly during the peak spring bloom that extends into fall in arid climates. The plant's long flowering period supports consistent foraging in dry landscapes, though it requires excellent drainage to thrive. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and may need occasional deadheading to prolong blooming.
