After locating and purchasing a quality plant at the store, it is important to find the perfect place for it at your home. Bidens Beedance Painted Red is a full sun annual that tolerates heat well. Beedance needs a good amount of light to be able to flower, so for perfect blooming a bright place is recommended.

The best time for planting your flower is mid-spring or early summer, after the threat of frost has passed. Be careful not to take your plant outside too early in the spring. If there is still a chance of frost in your area, keep your plant safe indoors, maintaining care in the container. Bidens will last from late spring, through the summer, until the end of fall.

Bidens Beedance is a low maintenance plant that does not require deadheading. Fertilizer or compost application will ensure optimal plant performance. Your beedance likes some feeding once a month. That way, it will retain its striking colours and you can enjoy your Beedance endlessly. Be sure to apply low to the ground, near the plant’s main stem, avoiding wetting the plant’s foliage, for quick absorption and utilization. Bidens requires good moisture levels but must be well-drained. It is important to ensure good drainage in both containers and landscaping, to prevent diseases like root rot. Drainage holes, elevated flower gardens, and proper soil composition are three great ways to prevent root rot and help your plants maintain a healthy moisture level. Bidens are also drought tolerant.

Another great feature of Bidens Beedance is their bloom production. These mounded beauties will continuously bloom all season. While the plant does not require deadheading, if your plants start to look messy, feel free to trim them back to keep them tight and well shaped. After pinching back, your plant should begin to bloom again within 1-2 weeks.

A common pest for Bidens is white flies. The white flies can be a problem under severe insect pressure. Continually survey your plants and treat as needed with appropriate biological controls.
