Wedelia Trilobata – Singapore Daisy Ground Cover Plant

The Wedelia Trilobata Plant, commonly known as Singapore Daisy, is a fast-spreading ornamental ground cover recognised for its green foliage and bright yellow, daisy-like flowers. Its low-growing habit makes it suitable for covering open soil, filling landscape edges and adding colour to garden spaces.
This plant grows well in warm climates and can thrive in sunny or partially shaded locations. It is useful for landscaping where dense ground cover is required, but its vigorous spreading habit needs regular management to prevent it from invading nearby planting areas.
