Calyptocarpus vialis

 
Calyptocarpus vialis
straggler daisy; horseherb

Common name straggler daisy; horseherb
Family asteraceae
Life cycle perennial
Flowers yellow (spring-fall)
Size 6-12"
Light sun-shade

Herbaceous, semi-evergreen perennial wildflower occurring across the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. Tiny yellow flowers appear throughout its period of active growth, among a dense mat of mid-green leaves. Not a widespread weed in our garden – I found it growing as a groundcover in a narrow stretch between our house and our fence, where it receives sun during a few hours in the afternoon.

This is a weed in our garden
