This site requires JavaScript to function properly. Please enable JavaScript in your web browser.

A strong grower, Bidens polylepis can become weedy in sunny, wet locations; its bright yellow blossoms are popular with insect pollinators in late summer and fall.

Bearded Beggar's Ticks are an annual; they complete their life cycle during one season but will re-seed. Unlike most Bidens or Beggar's Ticks/Tickseed species, the Bearded Beggar's Ticks' awns are absent so the seed will not easily attach to clothing, shoelaces or fur. It also differs in seeming not to require over-wintering for germination.
