Bidens Aristosa Bearded Beggarticks

Bidens aristosa, commonly known as Bearded Beggarticks, is a native wildflower that forms a robust and upright stature that reaches heights up to three feet, adding vertical interest to natural areas and wetland habitats. The flower color of this plant is a cheerful and vibrant shade of yellow, showcasing daisy-like blooms that brighten the landscape during the summer and fall. Bearded Beggarticks exhibit excellent hardiness, thriving in wet and marshy soils, making it well-adapted to wetland environments and areas with seasonal flooding. One of its most notable unique characteristics is its distinctive bearded seeds, which attach to passing animals or clothing, aiding in seed dispersal, and giving rise to the common name "Beggarticks." Additionally, this wildflower is valued for its role in supporting pollinators, providing a rich source of nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
