Bidens ferulifolia Compact - Apache Beggarticks

You can plant your Bidens in open ground or in a pot. If you wish to plant them in open ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (Bidens can tolerate a light late frost). In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Plant your Bidens in a sunny location. They need a light and humus-rich soil, but above all, it should be well-draining. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. Very floriferous and fast-growing, they are hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season. Usually grown as annuals, they are actually fragile perennials: by bringing them indoors before the first cold weather arrives, you can extend their flowering period throughout autumn and winter.
