CARE GUIDE

How to keep Bidens Radiata.

Light

Radiating bur-marigold comes from bright, open habitats and performs best in full sun. It can withstand partial shade but prefers direct sunlight for the best growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving habit.

Temperature

Radiating bur-marigold adapts well to temperature, tolerating higher heat and wider temperature fluctuations. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and appropriate shading should be provided to avoid sunburn. However, Radiating bur-marigold is relatively sensitive to low temperatures. While it can endure some cold, excessively low temperatures can cause frost damage.

Fertilizer

When Radiating bur-marigold has opened most of its blooms at full size, resume fertilizing. Around the time the blooms are at peak output, fertilize once every three to four weeks, as weather permits. Then, after the plant begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there’s no need to fertilize when the plant can’t produce any more blooms.
