Mexican Gold™ Bidens

Mexican Gold™ is a semi-trailing Bidens ferulifolia with bright yellow flowers and a medium-vigorous habit. The breeder lists it as an annual that starts blooming early and continues through summer heat, making it a strong choice for sunny mixed containers and seasonal planting. [Syngenta](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70018300) lists garden dimensions of 8–10 inches tall by 10–12 inches wide and notes that the flowers are pollinator friendly. ## Landscape Use Use Mexican Gold near the edge of a planter, in a hanging basket, or among upright annuals where its semi-trailing stems can soften the rim. Its bright yellow blooms pair readily with other warm-season flowers. ## Size and Siting Expect a compact plant about 8–10 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide. Site in full sun or part sun; the breeder classifies it as a heat-loving selection. It is commonly sold as an annual, so its breeder-listed hardiness information should not be read as a promise of year-round survival in colder gardens. ## Soil and Water Grow in a well-drained container mix or garden soil. Keep the root zone evenly moist while plants establish and during hot, dry weather, then let excess water drain freely. The breeder's culture guide for the related Mexican Gold Jumbo product recommends that media dry somewhat between irrigation; adjust this to local heat, wind, and container size. ## Maintenance Trim damaged or overly long stems to maintain the desired shape. Syngenta describes continuous flowering from early spring through summer; actual timing depends on planting date and climate. No USDA range is inferred from the breeder's single hardiness-zone listing.
