Dwarf Palmetto
Honeybees forage on dwarf palmetto for its nectar and pollen, recognized as an important source in its range during the summer bloom from June to July. Peak bloom aligns with early summer when it supports bee colonies with reliable rewards. It tolerates wet to dry soils and partial shade, spreading slowly via rhizomes but not considered invasive.
