coastal sage
Honeybees heavily forage on the nectar-rich white flower spikes, contributing to a notable honey flow in late spring and early summer within its coastal habitat. Peak bloom aligns with April through July, providing consistent resources during a key period. The plant is highly drought-tolerant but may require protection from deer browsing in managed apiary landscapes.
