Wedelia texana hispidia
Rough Daisy Devil's River
Description
This perennial grows to 3' tall. It blooms in late spring, summer and fall, with bright orange-yellow daisies on dark green foliage. During winter, shrub looks scruffy, so an early spring pruning help to spruce it up. Plant in full sun to part shade. However, in very shady locations, it becomes lanky and spreading. It will reseed some in the garden.

Water Saving Tip:
Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
