Trixis inula, commonly known as Tropical Threefold, is an evergreen shrub native to a variety of habitats including open woodlands, forest edges, and scrub areas in the Gulf of Mexico region, extending into Texas and parts of Central America. It typically grows to a height of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters) and is recognized for its compact form and the clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in spring, summer, and fall. The flowers are moderately showy and attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees.

Tropical Threefold is valued for its extended blooming period and adaptability to different soil types, making it a versatile choice for gardeners. It is often used in border plantings, as a specimen in xeriscapes, or in pollinator gardens due to its attractiveness to wildlife. This shrub prefers well-drained soils and can tolerate drought once established, though it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. There are no widely known serious disease or pest issues, but it can be sensitive to overwatering which may lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
