Mexican fleabane is a wonderfully easy-going perennial that thrives in borders, walls, and containers with minimal attention. Water regularly during dry spells but avoid waterlogging, and cut back lightly after flowering to encourage a fresh flush of blooms. It self-seeds freely, so deadhead if you want to control its spread.
