Honeybees are attracted to the vanilla-scented white flower spikes for their rich nectar, which yields a high-quality honey. Blooms occur in successive waves from spring to fall, often triggered by rainfall, providing extended forage in arid conditions. The shrub forms dense thickets and may require pruning to control spread and promote denser growth.
