Aspilia africana is a semi-woody perennial herb of tropical African grasslands and woodland margins, grown mainly as a wild or medicinal plant rather than an ornamental. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil with moderate water.
Aspilia africana, also known as the haemorrhage plant or wild sunflower, is one of about 50 species of the genus Aspilia.
It is widely distributed across tropical Africa, occurring on grasslands, woodlands, forest margins, and abandoned cultivated zones.
