Bidens Campfire® Red Ember ~ New 2026
Bidens BY-denz
Proven Winners Campfire® Red Ember: Pollinators can’t resist the fiery red blooms of this high impact, low maintenance, heat tolerant annual. It makes a dense splash of color planted at the front of garden beds and also grows well in container recipes paired with other heat lovers like Luscious® lantana and Superbena® verbena. Since the self-cleaning flowers set little seed, the plant’s persistence in the garden is greatly reduced.

Description
Bidens BY-denz
An annual, the bidens plant started with simple yellow blooms, but it’s now available in various colors. Most commonly grown as a trailing or groundcover plant, bidens are also available in more upright types that work wonderfully as a bedding plant in the ground. This tough annual can keep blooming through some genuinely rough conditions. Once they’re established, bidens plants are quite drought tolerant. While they can tolerate drought well, they appreciate regular watering when possible. A too-long period of drought can affect their blooming potential. For the best blooms, plant Bidens in full-sun. While they can tolerate part sun, it’s not advisable as they won’t bloom as well, and the overall plant habit can become leggy and unappealing.
