Simpson's Stopper
Honeybees visit Simpson's stopper for nectar and pollen from its small, fragrant white flowers, which provide consistent forage in subtropical landscapes. Peak bloom occurs in spring (April-May), though sporadic flowering happens year-round. This evergreen shrub is low-maintenance and salt-tolerant, making it suitable for hedges, but it may require pruning to maintain shape and prevent legginess in shade.
