Product Description

The Hot and Spicy Bidens (Bidens ferulifolia 'Hot and Spicy') is a vigorous, trailing evergreen perennial renowned for its masses of vibrant golden-yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom continuously from spring through autumn. This outstanding cultivar is prized for its exceptional flowering performance, heat tolerance, and cascading growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, and sunny garden beds.

Its finely divided, fern-like green foliage creates a soft, delicate texture that contrasts beautifully with the cheerful golden blooms. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, bringing colour and life to the garden throughout the growing season.
