Summary
Nidorella ivifolia, commonly known as Ivy-leaved Nidorella, is a deciduous perennial herb that is indigenous to the grasslands and open areas of South Africa. It typically grows at a moderate rate to heights of 5-12 feet (1.5-3.7 meters) and spreads 5-7 feet (1.5-2.1 meters). This plant features deeply lobed, ivy-like leaves and bears clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that are quite showy, blooming profusely in the spring and summer months. The flowers attract a variety of pollinators, adding to the ecological value of the plant.
Ivy-leaved Nidorella is valued for its vibrant floral display and can be used in mixed borders, as a specimen plant, or in naturalized areas where its height can be accommodated. It thrives in full sun. The plant prefers sandy or loamy soils with medium drainage. While generally low-maintenance, it may need protection from frost in colder climates. It is not commonly associated with serious pests or diseases, but overwatering can lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
