Plant height of Bidens ferulifolia

Bidens ferulifolia (Jacq.) DC.

The plant height of Bidens ferulifolia is a varietal trait that determines the choice of agricultural practices and the landscape application scenario of the plant.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Apache beggartick, where this is mentioned in the description.

In Bidens ferulifolia, plant height varies from 15–25 cm in compact, low-growing varieties to 30–90 cm in medium-tall and standard forms. This trait is evaluated for a mature generative plant during the peak of the growing season and often correlates with the plant width, which ranges from 30 to 80 cm.

The plant habit is characterized by highly branched shoots, which can take on an upright or semi-trailing form. Under insufficient light conditions, etiolation and shoot elongation exceeding the varietal norm are observed, which reduces canopy density and flowering intensity.

Height management is achieved through pinching, which stimulates branching and the formation of dense clumps, or by using growth regulators in commercial seedling production. Compact varieties up to 30 cm are suitable for containers, whereas tall forms are preferred for mixed borders.
