Wedelia texana, commonly known as Texas Creeping-Oxeye, is a perennial herb and is semi-evergreen to evergreen in warmer climates. It is native to Texas and northeastern Mexico, typically found in open areas such as prairies, roadsides, and clearings. This plant is adaptable, growing to a height of 0.5-3 feet (0.2-0.9 meters) and spreading up to 2 feet (0.6 meters) wide. It forms a dense mat of foliage, with small, lance-shaped leaves and daisy-like flowers that are bright yellow with a darker orange center. The flowers bloom profusely from spring to fall and are quite showy, attracting pollinators such as butterflies and bees.

Texas Creeping-Oxeye is valued for its long flowering season and its ability to form a dense ground cover, which can help prevent soil erosion. It is used in cultivation for xeriscaping, as a ground cover, in rock gardens, and for naturalizing areas. This plant thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils but is tolerant of a range of soil types. It is drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal supplemental watering. While generally low-maintenance, it can spread aggressively and may need to be contained in smaller gardens.CC BY-SA 4.0
