Blazing Glory™ Bidens ferulifolia

Blazing Glory™ is a freely flowering Bidens with single red-and-yellow blooms and a compact, branching habit. Danziger’s product manager describes the cultivar as abundantly flowering and more compact than earlier bidens selections, making it useful in baskets, mixed containers, and sunny borders. ## Seasonal display and use In a [Danziger-authored growing article](https://www.growertalks.com/Article/?articleid=22537), the company’s North American product manager describes this exact cultivar’s large red-and-yellow single flowers and abundant bloom. [Lucas Greenhouses](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Bidens-ferulifolia-Blazing-Glory) lists orange and yellow flowers and a 10–12 inch height with 12–14 inch spread. Color wording differs between that grower profile and Danziger’s product manager, so this description keeps the red-to-orange range explicit. Plant it where its rounded growth can soften a container edge or fill the front of a sunny bed. The RHS species profile recommends full sun and well-drained soil; seasonal performance and size vary with climate and container conditions. ## Growing conditions Use a well-drained mix and water consistently through active growth, especially in pots. Do not let the root ball stay saturated or dry for long periods. Bidens is commonly grown as an annual in climates with winter frost. ## Maintenance Pinching during establishment can encourage branching; remove damaged growth as needed. Routine deadheading is not necessary for basic display, though spent stems can be tidied if desired.
