The Plant Store will re-open for sales the week of May 13th, 2024 for local pickup

  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information here to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.
  • I'm currently working on shifting the store part of this site over to more complex software that will allow for filtering by multiple plant traits and making wish lists of species you would like to order, so please bear with me when it comes to announcing the exact species offerings for 2024 (there will be lots, including some species not previously offered).

Bidens cernua, Nodding Beggarticks

Bidens cernua

Nodding Beggarticks

  • Annual
  • Wet to moderately wet soils 
  • Full Sun
  • 36” tall, 18” to 24” wide
  • Mid summer to fall blooming
  • Ontario Native Species, Annual, High moisture ecosystems. 

Still new to me, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library

A fairly showy member of the Biddens family, I suspect that these will adapt reasonably to growing in containers, so I’m going to give them a try this summer. I’ll also tuck a few into a seasonally flooded drainage ditch area to see how they do there.

While it rarely comes up, I do reserve the right to limit plant quantities, mostly to help ensure that as many native plant gardens as possible become a reality
