Pseudogynoxys
chenopodioides
(Formally known as Senecio confusus)
Pseudogynoxys chenopodioides has the
common name of Mexican Flame flower and is a plant that thrives in sun on poor
soils, fortunately here in the UK it is not invasive as it can too much of a
good thing in warmer climates, it flowers all year so long as its warm enough,
frost knocks it back in the UK and very cold weather will kill the roots, a light fluffy
mulch can keep the root system alive but it is so easy to do a few stand by
cuttings there is really no need to worry. The bright orange flowers show up
well and although technically an evergreen, the tatty over wintered growth would
need tidying off in the spring even if it survived intact
