Wedelia trilobata, commonly known as Creeping Daisy, Water Zinnia, or Rabbit’s Paw, is a fast-growing, evergreen perennial ground cover. It spreads vigorously by rooting at the leaf nodes, making it ideal for covering large areas.
The plant features elliptic to obovate mid- to dark-green leaves, typically 3-lobed and reaching up to 12 cm in length. From late spring to autumn, it produces small, daisy-like yellow flowerheads around 2 cm across, creating a bright and attractive carpet of color.
Perfect for borders, slopes, ground cover, and landscapes requiring hardy, low-maintenance plants.
