Bur Marigold (Bidens Aurea) - Bidens Aurea seeds grow quickly and easily into a sweet annual that makes a nice addition to the garden. This tall, long-stemmed Bur Marigold shimmers from mid-summer until fall, producing beautiful golden yellow flowers. Each simple, five-petaled daisy is two-toned, with paler, white-tipped petals set round a darker middle. The ferny foliage of the plant truly makes this a unique flower grown from flower seeds.
Not too many gardeners know about Bidens Aurea flower seed. This hidden secret is making its way to popularity as people are appreciating its unique attributes. Bur Marigold will grow in clay and heavier soil as well as lighter soils, but it's more likely to run on lighter ground. In can self-sow with the seeds popping up some distance away, weaving itself among other plants. It does not smother or crowd other plants. Grow the flower seed in baskets, containers, or directly in the flower garden. Sometimes Bur-Marigold is also called Hannay's Lemon Drop.
Common Questions
Can bidens grow indoors?
Bidens are commonly used in gardens and landscaping, but they are also a great option for container gardening. Their plentiful foliage and flowers thrive in flower boxes or hanging planters. Although much of the care routine for container-grown bidens is similar to that of garden plants, it is crucial to fertilize them as they need nutrient-rich soil to bloom and stay healthy.
How long will bidens live?
In regions where temperatures fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, bidens plants will not survive the winter, typically lasting no longer than a year. Yet, in warmer climates, certain species can thrive for 3 to 10 years.
Where should I place bidens in my house?
If you plan to cultivate bidens in a container garden at home, ensure it receives direct, full sunlight. Placing it on a sunny windowsill can greatly benefit this plant, as bidens are known for being an excellent choice as a spiller plant.
