Bidens nudata is a fast-growing, mounding, drought-tolerant perennial from Baja California Sur, Mexico, grown for its finely textured foliage and yellow daisy flowers that bloom in late autumn. It is grown in gardens with good drainage and is very forgiving once established.
Bidens nudata is a species of perennial plant in the family Asteraceae commonly known as the Cape beggar's tick or Baja tickseed. This species is endemic to the Sierra de la Laguna and the Sierra de las Cacachilas of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is characterized by a mounding habit, pinnate green leaves and large yellow daisy-like flowers. This species has found uses in horticulture as an ornamental, providing a drought-tolerant and durable plant for the garden.
Available from nurseries specializing in xerophytic or Baja California plants, this species is an adaptable, durable, and drought-tolerant plant. It grows readily on a number of soils, including sand, clay, and rocky substrates. It grows in dry conditions but is tolerant of extra water, and thrives in both half-shady to full sun locations. It typically blooms in the month of November, providing flowers in a period when typically summer bloomers have gone to seed and winter bloomers have yet to open.
