Groundcover that quickly reaches 1-1/2' x 6'. Yellow daisylike flowers appear spring to summer. Good in containers. Accepts full sun to full shade. Great groundcover for northern exposures or those densely shaded. Blooms better in full sun. Quite frost tender but recovers quickly. Leaves may irritate skin. Can be invasive if not controlled. Native to Central and South America.

Frost tolerant to 30 F. Also known as Sphagneticola trilobata.
