Arabic Common Name: رجل الأرنب (Rajul al-Arnab - "Rabbit's Paw")
Wedelia trilobata is a fast-growing, evergreen groundcover that is exceptionally well-suited for the challenging climate of the Middle East. It forms a dense, spreading mat of lush, glossy green leaves, providing a vibrant carpet of foliage throughout the year. This hardy perennial thrives in the intense heat and can tolerate drought once established, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscapes. It produces a continuous display of bright, golden-yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom almost year-round in warm climates, adding a cheerful splash of color to the garden.
