The Plant store is now closed for orders.

  • I'm planning on one last round of sales toward the end of September of plants that I'll be potting up from a nursery bed I planted in the fall of 2022. I'll post the details and the time once I have the plants ready to go

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
