(Bidens cernua)
Nodding beggarticks, also known as Nodding Burr-Marigold, Nodding bur-marigold
Characterized by yellow, sunflower-like heads that tilt or 'nod', nodding beggarticks is a moisture-loving perennial. Prune dead or faded flowers regularly to encourage further blooming and maintain plant vigor. Cut back spent foliage after flowering, typically in fall, to promote healthy growth the following season. Pruning in spring can rejuvenate growth. Avoid heavy pruning as nodding beggarticks naturally manages its shape. Pruning enhances aesthetics and prevents self-sowing if seed dispersal is undesired.
