Coreopsis leavenworthii
In the United States: Native · also called leavenworth's coreopsis, leavenworth's tickseed

Honeybees are drawn to Leavenworth's Coreopsis for its plentiful nectar and pollen, serving as a reliable honey flow contributor during its extended blooming period. Peak bloom hits from spring through summer, extending into fall in warmer climates. This low-maintenance perennial prefers full sun and well-drained soils, with deadheading encouraging prolonged flowering but no major management issues like invasiveness.
