I don’t see St. John’s Wort on your list (Hidcoat Hypericum). It’s not the creeping one, but the tall one that attracts the bees.

Hyper-bees on Hypericum

I’ve seen so many bees on this one which blooms from mid June into early August. Very little care is needed and it grows well from seed.

Thank you so much for the input. It’s always good to learn more about what attracts bees; the more bees the better.

Ulp…just found another one not mentioned that attracts bees big time. Easy to grow, attracts lots of bees, mostly bumblebees, and throws many seedlings…echium (Tower of Jewels) http://solarbeez.com/2012/06/27/bumble-bee-heaven/
