Acmella radicans

Acmella radicans is a resilient groundcover, easily recognized by its small, daisy-like yellow flowers that bloom atop sturdy, branching stems. The luscious green leaves, often serrated, form a dense mat, providing a natural weed suppressant. Flourishing in warm, moist conditions, acmella radicans excels in full sun to part shade, inviting pollinators while deterring pests with its distinctive, peppery-flavored foliage.
