Reminiscent of the beauty of a setting sun, Bidens ferulifolia ‘Brazen Glowing Sky’ will be the star of your summer planting, adding glamour to your herbaceous borders and carefully orchestrated containers. Happy, daisy-like blooms, in shades of burnt orange, boast the most intriguing linear markings on each petal, looking like wonderous sun rays. Sure to make you smile, they open from small button-like buds held on slender stems between June and October. Bees and other pollinators will be drawn in to investigate further. Plants spread to around 60cm, and reaching around 30cm tall, with the neat mounds of fine feathery foliage creating wonderful, weed-suppressing groundcover.
