Perennial Peanut

Perennial Peanut

Perennial Peanut is a hardy, warm-season groundcover valued for its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers and dense, spreading growth habit. Blooming repeatedly from spring through fall, it creates a cheerful carpet of color while forming a lush, green mat of fine-textured foliage. Often used as an alternative to traditional turf, Perennial Peanut requires significantly less water, fertilizer, and mowing once established.

This versatile plant is ideal for erosion control, slopes, roadways, and open landscape areas where durability and low maintenance are essential. As a nitrogen-fixing plant, Perennial Peanut naturally improves soil health, benefiting surrounding plantings. It thrives in full sun and performs especially well in warm climates, offering both functional and ornamental value. With its long bloom season, resilience, and environmental benefits, Perennial Peanut is an excellent choice for sustainable and attractive landscapes.
