Baileya is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. It consists of several species, primarily found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. These plants are characterized by their bright yellow flowers and are often used in landscaping due to their drought resistance. The most well-known species is Baileya multiradiata, also called the desert marigold. This perennial plant thrives in arid environments and blooms from spring to fall. Its ability to adapt to dry conditions makes it a popular choice for xeriscaping, which is a landscaping method that conserves water.
