The Yellow Dot plant, also known as Wedelia (Sphagneticola trilobata), is a fast-growing, ground-covering perennial prized for its vibrant yellow daisy-like flowers and lush, glossy green foliage. Native to tropical regions, this low-growing plant spreads quickly to form a dense mat, making it ideal for erosion control, filling in bare spots, or softening the edges of walkways and garden beds. Its cheerful blooms appear almost year-round in warm climates, adding continuous color and life to the landscape without the need for much maintenance.
Yellow Dot thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, moderately moist soil. It's especially popular in tropical and subtropical regions (USDA Zones 9–11) where it can be used as a hardy ground cover that crowds out weeds and withstands heat and humidity. While it's loved for its durability and low-maintenance nature, it can become aggressive in some climates if not kept in check. With proper placement and occasional trimming, Yellow Dot is a vibrant, easy-care solution for adding lasting greenery and bright yellow blooms to gardens and landscapes.

"We put 6 young plants that we bought from Moon Valley in the ground in April. We have a big, round planter at the corner of our property that gets full sun and I wanted something the bees would love and that would provide color. The yellow dots have done just that and have completely over taken the planter. I love them so much. "
