| Botanical Name | Melampodium leucanthum |
| Description | A premier choice for water-wise landscapes in the Houston area, the Blackfoot Daisy offers incredible heat resilience. However, it is highly sensitive to overwatering and poor drainage. In our region's heavier soils, it is critical to plant in raised beds or well-draining rock gardens; it will not tolerate sitting in damp clay or low spots where water collects during Gulf Coast rainstorms. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 6-12 inches Tall x 12-24 inches Wide |
| Water | Very Low; extremely drought-tolerant. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. |
| Zones | 5-11; hardy and heat-loving. |
| Fertilization | Minimal; prefers lean soils. Avoid heavy fertilizers which can cause the plant to become leggy and short-lived. |
| Pruning | Shear back by half in late winter to refresh the foliage and maintain a tidy, mounded habit. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
