The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

~ Bidens aristosa, Bearded Beggarticks

Bidens aristosa 

Bearded Beggarticks

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

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

Probably the showiest of the Biddens family, this species is not historically native to Ontario, with a range that once ended at the southern shores of Lake Ontario.  I suspect that these will adapt reasonably to growing in containers, so I’m going to give them a try this summer. 

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

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
