Bidens ferulifolia (Bidens)
Color Name: Namid™ Compact Yellow
Namid Compact Yellow Bidens bring a bouquet of sunshine to hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes and landscapes. Bright gold daisy-like flowers, atop delicate fern-like foliage, vigorously bloom spring to fall, mounding and spilling. Namid Yellow is heat and drought tolerant, requires full to part sun and is self-cleaning, so no deadheading is necessary. Butterflies love abundantly blooming and sunny Bidens!
Growing Tips: Bidens enjoy basking in the sun for 6 hours or more. They are very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water. They are considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus make them an ideal choice for low-water gardens. No deadheading necessary!
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
