Turk's Cap
Honeybees forage on Turk's cap for its abundant nectar and moderate pollen supplies, particularly during the late summer peak bloom that supports colonies heading into fall. The plant's tubular flowers also attract bumblebees and other native pollinators. As a spreading subshrub, it can form dense colonies in gardens, requiring occasional pruning to control growth.
