Latin Name: Bidens ferulifolia ‘Tweety Sweety’Â
The Bidens ‘Tweety Sweety’ is a cheerful, compact plant (often grown as an annual) prized for its butter-yellow blooms and sweet honey fragrance. Growing 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) tall and wide, it’s perfect for containers, borders, and pollinator gardens.
This charming cultivar produces 1.5-inch (4 cm) golden-yellow flowers with slightly ruffled petals, blooming spring to frost without deadheading. Unlike standard bidens, its blooms emit a light, honey-like scent and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established but blooms best with moderate watering. Deer-resistant and heat-loving.
Perfect for cottage gardens or sunny patios, pair with blue lobelia, purple petunias, or silver dichondra.
