Capeweed

Arctotheca calendula
Capeweed, Cape Dandelion, Cape Marigold
This weed comes from Cape Prince in South Africa. Some plant it on purpose as a ground cover. It grows in rosettes and sends out stolons. Stolons are stems growing along or under the ground and taking root at the nodes or apex to form new plants. In other words, trouble.
