Coastalplain Yellowtops

Verbesina helleri
In the United States: Introduced

Honeybees visit this annual herb for nectar and pollen, especially when other sources are scarce in warm climates. It blooms prolifically from fall through spring in northern hemisphere sites, offering a reliable late-season forage. Plants self-seed vigorously in sunny, disturbed soils and may need control to avoid dominating garden spaces.
