Eclipta (False Daisy, Bhringraj)
Eclipta alba is a fast-growing annual herb belonging to the sunflower (Asteraceae) family. It forms a low, spreading habit with bright green, lance-shaped leaves and small, daisy-like white flowers that bloom through the warm months. Its creeping growth pattern makes it a useful groundcover in moist areas. All of our plants contain organic potting mix.

Growing Conditions

Zones: Best grown as an annual in most climates, though it can behave as a short-lived perennial in frost-free regions (USDA zones 9, 11).

Soil: Prefers moist, fertile soil but adapts to a variety of conditions, including clay or sandy loam.

Light: Thrives in full sun as it is a tropical plant but can do some shade.

Water: Needs consistent moisture for best growth; does not tolerate prolonged drought.

Growth Habits
Eclipta alba, false daisy, usually grows 1, 2 feet tall and spreads outward with branching stems. It reseeds easily, allowing it to return each year in favorable climates. Its small white flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding value to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Additional Notes

Well suited for indoor container growing or planting near water features where soil stays moist. Its flowers look like small daisies.

Can spread quickly in wet environments, so give it space to expand. This live plant is also known as Eclipta prostrata, an unusual garden herb. It is also grown as a medicinal herb.

With regular trimming, it maintains a neat, compact shape and continues flowering through the season.

Always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
