Description

Bidens ferulifolia 'Goldmarie' is a vigorous, mat-forming perennial prized for its non-stop display of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers and finely dissected, fern-like bright green foliage. This heat-loving plant forms a dense, trailing, carpet-like mound of aromatic, feathery leaves that are soft to the touch. From late spring through summer and into fall, and even year-round in frost-free climates, it produces an abundance of small, daisy-like, golden-yellow flowers that cover the plant, creating a cheerful, sunny carpet that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators . Extremely heat and drought tolerant, self-cleaning (no deadheading needed), and fast-growing, it is an outstanding choice for ground cover, hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, borders, rock gardens, and as a "spiller" in mixed plantings.

Faqs

Q: How long does Goldmarie Carpet Tickseed bloom?
A: It has an exceptionally long bloom season, from late spring through summer and into fall, and can bloom nearly year-round in frost-free climates, providing months of bright yellow color.

Q: Does it need deadheading?
A: No, it is self-cleaning. The spent flowers drop away naturally, so no deadheading is required to keep the plant blooming continuously. This makes it very low-maintenance.

Q: How much sun does it need?
A: For the densest growth and most abundant flowers, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). It will tolerate light shade but will flower less.

Q: Is it a perennial or an annual?
A: It is a tender perennial, reliably hardy in USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones (USDA 8 and below), it is grown as a spectacular, long-blooming annual for the spring-to-fall season, or in a container that can be overwintered indoors.

Q: Is it good for ground cover?
A: Yes, its dense, mat-forming, carpet-like growth habit makes it an outstanding choice for ground cover, where its bright yellow flowers will create a sunny, colorful carpet.
