Have you ever seen this plant under elevated mounts or under the bushes in the park? Large lotus leaf-like leaves are evergreen all year round, appearing in some dimly lit areas, giving people the feeling that they do not need light to grow. This is the plant we recommend today - Dawu Fengcao.
Although it is difficult to see from the appearance, Dawu Fengcao is indeed a plant of the Asteraceae family. Its flowers bloom in late autumn like the chrysanthemums we are watching. The flowers are like the larger wild chrysanthemums , which is currently in the flowering period. As mentioned above, Dawu grass likes shade and is often planted in areas with less light. Although it is usually green and uncommon, as soon as the flowering period comes, Dawu grass will immediately change its appearance and form a sea of yellow flowers, like sunlight, which is very shocking. After the flowering period, the Dawu grass will produce a series of fruit orders with "poms" with "poms", like dandelions, but they are even larger and very novel. From an ornamental perspective, Dawu Fengcao usually looks at the leaves, flowers during the flowering period, and fruits can also be seen after the flowering period. It is a plant that can be viewed throughout the year.
The advantages of Dawu Fengcao are not only long ornamental period and shade tolerance. It has strong habits, no choice of soil, and easy to feed. It is also the reason why many garden landscapes choose to plant it on a large scale. It can also be grown as a houseplant and has a very good home decoration effect.
In fact, in addition to ornamental, Dawu Fengcao also has some unknown functions. For example, it can be eaten. After its tender stems and leaves are scalded in boiling water and rinsed in cold water, they can be used to mix, stir-fry, boil, steam, etc. However, my country has few habits to eat Dawu Fengcao, but in its other origin, Japan, there will be more habits to eat.
