Munro’s Globemallow

Sphaeralcea munroana
In the United States: Native · also called orange globe mallow

Honeybees visit Munro’s globemallow for its abundant nectar and pollen, especially during its prolonged bloom period that supports foraging in arid conditions. Peak bloom hits from June to July, providing a steady resource when many other plants are dormant in dry climates. It thrives in well-drained soils with minimal irrigation once established and attracts a variety of pollinators, though it may require protection from excessive winter moisture in cooler zones.
