| Botanical Name | Chrysactinia mexicana |
| Description | A powerhouse for Texas landscapes, Damianita is a low-growing evergreen shrub featuring aromatic, needle-like foliage and vibrant yellow daisy-like flowers. While it is exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant, it requires excellent drainage to survive the Houston area's heavy rainfall. It will not tolerate standing water or heavy, boggy clay soils; planting in raised beds or amended, gritty soil is highly recommended for success. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best flowering and form) |
| Height x Width | 1-2 ft. Tall x 1-2 ft. Wide |
| Water | Very low water needs once established. Sensitive to overwatering. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Requires little to no fertilizer; a light application of compost in spring is sufficient. |
| Pruning | Shear lightly in late winter or after a heavy bloom cycle to maintain a compact, mounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | Very High (Highly aromatic foliage deters browsing) |
