Kidneywood
Honeybees forage heavily on its fragrant white flower spikes for nectar and pollen, yielding a steady honey flow during its intermittent blooms, especially peaking in late summer after rains. This drought-tolerant shrub supports foragers in arid regions but may drop leaves during prolonged dry spells, rebounding with moisture. It thrives in calcareous soils and requires minimal management beyond occasional pruning.
