Bidens
Bidens (Bidens ferulifolia), commonly known as bidens or golden bidens, is a heat-loving annual valued for its bright, daisy-like yellow blooms and long flowering season. In North Florida and South Georgia, it performs best during the cooler portions of the warm season, providing continuous color in containers, hanging baskets, and borders. Its trailing to mounding habit and prolific flowering make it a strong performer in sunny landscapes.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but well-drained; avoid prolonged dryness
• Pruning: Lightly trim or shear to encourage branching and continuous blooms
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and supplement during the growing season
