Apache Beggarticks, Fern-Leaved Beggarticks, Coreopsis ferulifolia, Bidens procera
Long-blooming and carefree, Bidens ferulifolia (Apache Beggarticks) is a vigorous low-growing evergreen perennial, often grown as an annual, boasting a profusion of delicately fragrant, bright yellow daisies, up to 2 in. across (5 cm). Blooming from early summer to fall, nearly year-round in frost-free areas, the five-petaled blossoms are carried on wiry stems above the bushy foliage of finely dissected dark green leaves. Rich in nectar, the flowers are a good pollen and nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Tolerant of heat, wind, and drought, this fast-growing Southwest U.S. native is an excellent performer. Forming a compact mat of long-lasting bright golden flowers, it is suitable for growing in beds or containers to decorate balconies, terraces, and patios. Ideal for hanging baskets as it has vigorous, cascading stems.
