Aster family member, Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens, features cheerful composite blooms, each with a gilded disk encircled by milk-white rays. Also known as Bidenshybrid, this long-blooming annual flowers from spring until autumn’s first heavy frost. There’s no need to deadhead to encourage additional blooming–this ornamental “self-cleans”. Pollinators, including bees and butterflies, adore it! With its showy flowers providing three seasons of interest, this wildflower is also highly heat tolerant; its brightly colored florets will appear as stunning in summer as in spring.
With an extended flowering season, Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens outdoes its close neighbor, coreopsis. The deep green foliage forms a vigorous clump. Growing to 8 to 14 inches high and 16-20 inches wide, Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens’ compact size makes it ideal for planting in containers including hanging baskets. Plant it as a specimen, or group a few together to create an accent in beds and borders. With its heat-tolerant, pristine white petals, Campfire® Marshmallow™ will brighten yards, decks, patios, entryways, and porches from spring through fall with minimal stress.
Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens Care
To encourage robust blooming, plant Campfire® Marshmallow™ in full sun. This plant tolerates a variety of soil types, including nutrient-deficient soil. For best performance, plant it in soil that’s slightly acidic and well draining. This wildflower is drought tolerant once established; however to better support flowering, provide about an inch of water per week. Fertilizer is not typically needed for landscape plantings.
Despite its long blooming season, Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens requires no deadheading. The only other pruning that may be needed is light trimming to control size or shape. For potted plants, you may want to apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer at the time of planting and then monthly to support blooming.
Campfire® Marshmallow™ Bidens Spacing
Space each plant 16 inches apart. Plant as a specimen in a container with a top wide enough to accommodate this annual’s spreading mound of foliage. Plant in beds and borders with companion plants such as cosmos, coreopsis, poppies, marigolds, and dahlias.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
