Lachnophyllum noeanum, commonly known as Spreading Fleabane, is an evergreen or semi-deciduous biennial herb native to rocky slopes and semi-arid regions of the Middle East. It typically grows to a height and width of 2 feet (0.6 meters), forming a mounded clump. The plant is characterized by its narrow, hairy leaves and daisy-like flowers that come in shades of yellow, white, and purple. These flowers bloom in succession from late summer through fall, and intermittently in spring and summer, providing a long season of interest. The flowers are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Spreading Fleabane is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and as a ground cover in dry, sunny areas. It is also used in borders and as a filler in mixed plantings. Gardeners appreciate its low water requirements and its ability to adapt to part shade conditions, although it flourishes best in full sun. While generally disease-free, it can occasionally suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. It is not known to have aggressive roots or other significant problems.CC BY-SA 4.0
