If you purchase this plant with the intention to put in it complete shade, I think you will be disappointed.

Orange Zexmenia is native to the dry,calcareous,gravelly, and rocky soils of the the Edwards Plateau and the South...Read More Texas Plains. It can reach a height of 1 to 2.5 feet and a 3 foot width. It blooms well in sun or shade. A single yellowish-orange flower blooms at the end of a long single stem and appears from May to September. The flower head is composed of several disk flowers and 7 to 15 ray flowers. Rough in texture and covered with stiff hairs (as are the stems), the 2-3 inch in length leaves have coarsely-toothed margins and are eaten by white-tailed deer and cattle. It attracts butterflies both as a nectar source and the feeding of larvae. This is an excellent xeriscape plant which deserves to be used more in the cultivated garden.

came up all on it's own next to the road at my place. Never watered or fed it anything and it has been blooming now for a few weeks.
A prolific bloomer that readily reseeds. A nice addition to a xeric garden. I have them growing among my prickly pears and agaves.
