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.
