Argentine fleabane is a hardy, fast-spreading wildflower that thrives in full sun to partial shade with minimal care, making it well suited to informal garden borders and naturalized areas. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant tolerates moderate dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to control self-seeding, as it can spread aggressively in favorable conditions.
