Gorgeous native groundcover or edging plant. The leaves are evergreen and will tolerate dry shade (to a point). It looks like baby lettuce most of the year, then sends up a flower stalk April-June with small yellow daisy-like flowers. Trimming these off when it's through flowering will get it looking tidy again. I haven't noticed it being eaten by bunnies or many insects. It forms patches in the wild.

Golden Grounsel is a lovely evergreen Texas native, suitable for groundcover.
The neat rosettes of leaves break forth with lovely yellow flowers in the Spring.

Golden Groundsel is evergreen, can be put in shade to part sun, low-growing when not in bloom. If you start with one plant, you'll eventually have a cluster of them, because it spreads by rhizomes. The smaller plants can be moved fairly easily. Tolerates alkaline limestone type soil fairly well. Mine has yellow blooms in March to April.
