Zexmenia Daisy (Wedelia acapulcensis var. hispida), also known as Texas creeping-oxeye, is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in the hot, dry climates of Central and West Texas. In this Texas Nature Journal entry, we explore why this tough, pollinator-friendly bloomer is a perfect choice for challenging areas of your landscape — and how to plant, care for, and propagate it successfully.

From poor rocky soils to roadside plantings, Zexmenia Daisy delivers season-long color, vital wildlife habitat, and near-zero maintenance once established.
