~ 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.

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5. 

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
