Asiatic Dayflower

The Asiatic dayflower, known scientifically as Commelina communis, is a delicate yet resilient flowering plant that has captivated botanists, artists, and herbalists for centuries. Native to East Asia—including China, Japan, and Korea—this unassuming wildflower has now spread across many parts of the world, including North America, where it grows both as a garden escapee and naturalized wildflower.
