Plant Profile: Calyptocarpus vialis

Horseherb, a resilient groundcover belonging to the daisy family, thrives in shaded environments such as woodlands, meadows, and areas that have been disturbed. It is well-suited to endure foot traffic and regular mowing, making it a common presence in lawns with shady spots. From spring through summer, its vibrant green foliage is adorned with small yellow flowers that attract various small butterflies with their nectar.

However, this plant can face challenges, particularly from excessive leaf litter that accumulates from taller canopy plants above.
