Hazardia is native to the western United States and northwestern Mexico, including offshore islands in the Pacific. They are short, hardy perennials or small leafy shrubs. Some species have sharply toothed leaves. Generally they bear yellow flowers, with some having ray florets and appearing somewhat daisylike while others have only disc florets.
Water:
Hazardia prefers arid conditions, requiring minimal water and thriving with infrequent rainfall. Watering every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry, promotes optimal growth. Its drought tolerance makes hazardia suitable for various climate zones and an ideal choice for xeriscaping.
Propagation:
Propagation of hazardia involves seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for growth include light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Techniques may require cold stratification for seeds and rooting hormones for cuttings. This process presents moderate challenges due to seed dormancy and rooting issues.
