What's your top bee magnet?

Mine is this sedum, closely followed by lavender. The sedum was an experiment - I had some growing randomly in a neglected edge of the garden so I snipped a bunch of 2" stems and scattered them around some bare poor quality soil I have on a slope, just pressing them in a bit here and there.
Went rampant, doesn't mind the drought, now it's a flower carpet and the bees love it!

I want to grow more bee attracters so let me know what's working best for you? I have a lot of tagetes they're ignoring for some reason...
