Bidens trichosperma, Crowned Beggarticks

Bidens trichosperma or Bidens coronata 

Crowned Beggarticks

  • Annual
  • Very to moderately high moisture soils
  • Full Sun 
  • 48” tall 18” to 24” wide
  • Summer to Fall Blooms
  • Ontario Native, Thrives in wetlands and other high moisture ecosystems

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/bidens-coronata-tall-swamp-marigold-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

A very showy native annual species that I’m going to try in a few spaces this year, including containers, to see how well they adapt to conditions outside of wetlands.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
