Pretty in Pink Bidens

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.
