Trifid bur-marigold
Bidens tripartita
Trifid bur-marigold is a low-maintenance wetland annual that prefers damp to wet soils and partial shade, making it ideal for pond margins and rain gardens. It requires very little care once established and will self-seed readily in moist conditions. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this plant naturally thrives in waterlogged or boggy environments.
