Sunshine Mimosa
Honeybees visit sunshine mimosa primarily for its abundant pollen and moderate nectar rewards, with peak blooming from May through July providing a reliable early-to-mid summer forage source. This low-growing perennial groundcover attracts large numbers of pollinators to its pink powderpuff flowers but requires well-drained soils to thrive and can spread aggressively in favorable conditions, making it suitable for meadow plantings near apiaries.
