10 Seeds Eclipta prostrata Yerba de Tajo Annual Herb

Eclipta prostrata, commonly called Yerba de Tajo, is a low-growing annual herb known for its slender stems, small white flowers, and vigorous summer growth. It is prized by gardeners for its adaptability to moist soils and its ability to establish quickly in warm conditions, making it a useful choice for bog gardens, rain gardens, and naturalized plantings.
This annual herb works well along pond margins, in damp borders, and in seasonal wildflower areas where its compact habit and continuous bloom add texture and interest. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with consistent moisture, and seed can be surface-sown in spring or early summer for a dependable display through the growing season.
