Pretty in Pink Bidens (Bidens ferulifolia Pretty in Pink) is a delightful departure from the traditional yellow Bidens, offering a soft, romantic color palette. This variety is prized for its abundant daisy-like flowers that feature pale pink petals decorated with distinct dark pink or purple stripes and a glowing yellow center. It maintains a compact, mounded habit that eventually transitions into a semi-trailing form, making it a perfect "spiller" for high-end containers.

As a resilient member of the Bidens genus, 'Pretty in Pink' is a high-performance tender perennial that acts as an annual in cooler climates. It features the signature airy, fern-like foliage that provides a delicate green backdrop for the vibrant blooms. Known for being exceptionally heat and drought tolerant, this plant thrives in the peak of summer when other flowers might fade. Its self-cleaning nature means old blooms drop away naturally, keeping the plant looking fresh and full without the need for constant deadheading.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Unique Striped Blooms: Features rare pink-and-purple-striped petals that add a sophisticated look to summer displays.
  • Pollinator Favorite: The open, nectar-rich blooms are a major draw for honeybees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
  • Extreme Weather Resilience: Built to withstand intense heat and short periods of drought without losing its vigor.
  • Low Maintenance: A "plant-and-forget" variety that stays tidy and continues blooming from spring until the first frost.
  • Versatile Growth: Ideal for hanging baskets, patio pots, or as a colorful, weed-suppressing groundcover in sunny garden beds.

These healthy 4" live plants thrive in full sun and reach a mature height and spread of 12-14". They prefer well-drained soil and moderate watering.
