Podolepis jaceoides, commonly known as Showy Copper-Wire Daisy, is an evergreen perennial herb native to open grasslands, plains, and lightly wooded areas of Southeastern Australia and Tasmania. It typically grows to a height of 0.7-2 feet (0.2-0.6 meters) and a width of up to 0.7 feet (0.2 meters). The plant is characterized by its slender, wiry stems and bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in spring and are quite showy, attracting various pollinators.

Showy Copper-Wire Daisy is valued for its drought tolerance and vibrant floral display, making it a suitable choice for rockeries, wildflower meadows, and borders in water-wise gardens. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating a range of soil types from sandy to loamy. While it requires low amounts of water once established, regular watering during prolonged dry periods can promote more abundant flowering. This species is relatively low-maintenance but may benefit from deadheading to encourage prolonged blooming. It is not commonly reported to have serious disease or pest problems, but overwatering can lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
