About
This herbaceous perennial features bright yellow, clustered flowerheads that add a splash of colour to any setting. Its distinctive leaves have three prominent veins radiating from the base, giving it an interesting texture.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for sunny borders, ground cover, or naturalised areas, thriving in well-drained soil typical of the Kilifi coast. It can fill gaps quickly or be used to stabilise disturbed patches, requiring minimal spacing between plants for a dense effect.
Growing notes
A fast-growing species, it establishes quickly and is relatively drought-tolerant once mature, needing occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. It is hardy and may self-seed, contributing to its spread in suitable conditions.
