Wedelia

Scientific Name:
Sphagneticola trilobata

Wedelia is often used for erosion control and as an ornamental ground cover due to its dense growth and vibrant yellow blooms. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil, full sunlight, and requires moderate watering. This hardy plant is commonly used in landscaping for its ability to quickly spread and cover large areas, making it ideal for controlling soil erosion in tropical and subtropical regions. It also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to gardens and green spaces.
