This sun-loving annual thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. With exceptional heat and drought tolerance, Bidens blooms continuously from spring through fall, making it a favorite for hanging baskets, mixed combinations, and landscape plantings that need vibrant, season-long color.
