Bidens cernua, Nodding Beggarticks

Bidens cernua

Nodding Beggarticks

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

Still new to me, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library

A fairly showy member of the Biddens family, I suspect that these will adapt reasonably to growing in containers, so I’m going to give them a try this summer. I’ll also tuck a few into a seasonally flooded drainage ditch area to see how they do there.
