Florida Camphorweed ID Food For Pollinators

There’s a variety of wild flowering weeds and native grasses that have been growing for several years in our NW Florida yard. They’re attractive to many bees, butterflies and even birds.

Camphor-weed is often overlooked as a desirable landscape plant, as it can become weedy in appearance and habit. It is, however, incredibly tolerant of varied and harsh conditions. It can be propagated by seeds, which should be collected when the flower heads appear brown and “fuzzy.” It readily self-sows.
