    About the Bidens Sunbird Yellow Red Star

    Care Instructions

    Plant Biden's in rich soil, with good drainage. Water regularly.

    Position, sunlight and more

    Biden prefer full sun for around 6 hours, if you don't have much light, they will still grow, just not produce the really big blooms. They also enjoy being inside, so a sunny windowsill or spot with direct sunlight works wonders.

    Height and Spread

    Biden Sunbird will grow 20-30cm height and spread 35cm.

    Feeding, Pruning & more

    Feeding - Feed monthly during flowering, with a multi purpose fertilizer.
    Pruning - Bidens do not need deadheading. Pinching or cutting back a large plant, can make it bushier and encourage new blooms.

    Our pot & plant size explained

    At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

    We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

    Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

    Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

    Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.

    Plug Size: 6cm by 7cm. A fantastic alternative to a 9cm pot and saves on plastic too. The plants in this size are well established and give you a head start. This size is perfect for planting straight into containers and baskets as well as the garden.
