Coyote Brush

Honeybees visit coyote brush for its abundant nectar and pollen during the late fall bloom period when floral resources are typically scarce. Peak bloom occurs from September to December, providing a critical late-season forage source. As a dioecious shrub, planting both male and female individuals ensures maximum bee rewards, with male plants offering pollen and females contributing nectar; it is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional pruning to control size.
