Mexican fleabane is a low-growing, sprawling groundcover that typically reaches 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) in height and spreads 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) wide. The foliage, comprised of small, lance-shaped leaves, supports delicate daisy-like flowers with white to pink-tinted petals surrounding a yellow central disc. These blooms are profuse, nearly year-round in favorable conditions. The plant thrives in cool environments with sun to light shade and exhibits resilience to poor soil and drought conditions. It is adaptable to a variety of growing conditions but may enter a dormant phase during extreme heat.
