Brazen™ Samurai Bidens

Brazen™ Samurai is a vigorous, mounding Bidens with finely divided green foliage and striking daisy-like flowers striped in orange-red and yellow. Its compact height and broad spread suit sunny containers, hanging baskets, and the front of a border, where stems can spill outward and soften the edge. [Syngenta](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70091932) lists the selection as an annual with early-spring through summer flowering and a creeping-to-upright habit. ## Landscape Use Use it as a colorful filler in mixed pots or as a low, spreading accent in a sunny bed. Syngenta identifies it as pollinator friendly; its open flower heads also make a useful landing and feeding display for visiting insects. ## Size and Siting Expect roughly 8–12 inches tall and 16–24 inches wide. The [Lucas Greenhouses profile](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Bidens-ferulifolia-Brazen-Samurai) gives the same size range and recommends it for containers and groundcover. Full sun supports the strongest flowering, though it can take some afternoon shade. ## Soil and Water Plant in freely draining soil and water consistently while it establishes and during dry spells; avoid leaving the root zone waterlogged. The breeder's crop page does not provide a home-garden watering schedule, so adjust irrigation to weather, soil, and container size. ## Maintenance Remove damaged growth as needed. Deadheading is generally unnecessary for continued display, according to the [Hayloft cultivar profile](https://hayloft.co.uk/bidens-brazen-samurai-g-k33236). Treat it as a warm-season annual where frost limits survival.
