Wedelia

Wedelia (Wedelia trilobata) is a perennial flowering plant native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It is a member of the daisy family and is sometimes referred to as creeping oxeye or creeping daisy. Wedelia has a low-growing habit and produces yellow, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers and three-lobed petals. The foliage is bright green and has a slightly hairy texture. Wedelia is a popular plant for use in gardens and landscapes and is often used as a ground cover or edging plant. It is drought-tolerant and can be grown in full sun or partial shade.

1. Plant in well-draining soil. Wedelia is a tropical plant and needs well-draining soil to thrive.

2. Provide at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Wedelia plants prefer full sun, but can tolerate some shade.

3. Water the plant deeply, but infrequently. Wedelia is drought tolerant, so water only when the soil is dry.

4. Fertilize the plant a few times a year. Use a slow-release fertilizer for best results.

5. Trim or prune the plant as needed. Wedelia plants can become overgrown and leggy if not pruned regularly.
