Dense Branching
& Short Inter Nodes
The dense branching and short internodes of Beedance® create a manageable growth habit and high flower count. One cutting will fill out a pot nicely, reducing the number of inputs and production time.
Plays Well With Others
Beedance Bidens offer controlled growth that is harmonious to plant in combinations with other popular vegetative annuals. Its growth but also its bright warm colour, makes it a nice plant to use in combination with others.
Attracts Bees & Butterflies
If you want lots of bees and butterflies zooming around and collecting nectar, bring Beedance® into your garden. Although Beedance is seed sterile, it is not pollen sterile and truly does attract bees and butterflies. Especially Beedance® Painted Red with its soft honey fragrance
Easy To Maintain
Deadheading is a garden task that occupies a lot of time and is not one of our favourite chores, for sure. With Beedance® plants deadheading is history! They will continue to flower even if you do not remove the old blooms.
Stunning Colours
The strong and stunning red and yellow colours give your garden a boost. Did you know that Beedance varieties were (one of) the first bicoloured red Bidens ferulifolia varieties on the market in 2016?
Early & Continuous Flowering
Beedance® plants flower quickly. Beedance® plants are sterile and do not set seed, so Beedance® blooms from early spring through fall, until temperatures fall below 0° C. Not only do early flowering plants add beauty, they can also be helpful in attracting bees and other pollinators to your yard early in the season, which encourages them to make your garden a regular place to visit for them.
All Weather Tolerant
Beedance® plants have a strong garden performance and are weather tolerant. Therefore, they are suitable for almost all weather forecasts: from the colder days in early spring until the hot summer and rainy fall.
Size Fits All
The compact, trailing habit of Beedance® makes it perfect for hanging baskets and pots. No matter how small your garden or patio, there is always room for some yellow and red Beedance® pants, swaying around in hanging baskets or looking great in decorative pots.
