Melanoselenum Depicens

Description

Melanoselenum depiciens is an ornamental perennial prized for its leathery, dark green leaves and the dramatic contrast they create with its vibrant yellow, star-shaped flowers. The plant has a dense, low-growing habit, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or as a specimen plant in shaded garden beds. The flowers, which appear in late spring or early summer, are unique in shape and stand out against the dark foliage.

Preferring partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, Melanoselenum depiciens is ideal for tropical or Mediterranean gardens and works well in both shaded and partially shaded spaces. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional watering and fertilizing. Whether planted in garden beds, containers, or as a ground cover, Melanoselenum depiciens brings year-round beauty, texture, and unique visual appeal to any landscape.
