Bidens Bee Happy Red

Common Name: Bee Happy Red Bidens

Description: Bidens ferulifolia 'Bee Happy Red' is a vibrant, mounded perennial often grown as an annual, celebrated for its profusion of red bicolor flowers that bloom from early spring through autumn. The semi-upright habit and continuous blooming nature ensure the plant remains fresh and colorful, as new flowers emerge over fading ones. This variety is approximately 35% more vigorous than the 'Bee Alive' series, yet about 50% less vigorous than 'Bee Bold', making it a balanced choice for various garden settings. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, 'Bee Happy Red' prefers well-drained soils and requires medium watering. Its compact size makes it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds. Additionally, the bright blooms are known to attract bees and butterflies, enhancing the ecological value of your garden.
