The Plant store is now closed for orders.

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.
