Horseherb

Horseherb turns overlooked garden spaces into a living carpet of fresh green foliage and small, cheerful yellow flowers. Blooming from spring into fall, its daisy-like flowers rise just above rounded leaves, adding subtle color beneath trees, between stepping stones, along informal pathways, and around larger perennials or shrubs.

Especially useful where turfgrass struggles, Horseherb tolerates partial shade, filtered sun, drought, and occasional mowing. It can also grow in sunnier spots when moisture is available, though it often looks lushest with afternoon shade. Its flowers support small native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making this easygoing groundcover far more ecologically valuable than its modest size suggests.

Why Choose Horseherb?

• Excellent native groundcover for shady or partly sunny spaces
• Small yellow flowers support bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects
• Useful as a native lawn alternative or pathway filler
• Tolerates occasional mowing and light foot traffic
• Spreads naturally to cover bare soil and reduce erosion
  

• Water occasionally during establishment, then allow Horseherb to spread into a natural groundcover.
• Mow or trim as needed to control height and encourage denser growth, and use edging or hand-pulling to contain it where a more formal boundary is desired.
• Avoid broadleaf herbicides, which will damage or eliminate the planting.
