Wedelia hispidia 'Devil's River'
Rough Daisy Devil's River
Description
Perennial grows to 3'. Thru late spring, summer and early fall, dark green foliage sprinkled with bright orange-yellow daisies. In winter months, shrub looks scruffy, so an early spring pruning helps. Accepts full sun to part shade. In shadier locations it becomes lanky and spreading. Will reseed some in the garden.
