Bidens Taka Tuka Red Yellow Brush – Trailing Summer Flowering Plant

Bring vibrant colour to your garden with the Bidens Taka Tuka Red Yellow Brush. This eye-catching variety produces an abundance of striking bicoloured blooms in rich red and golden yellow, creating a stunning brushstroke effect throughout the summer months. With its naturally trailing habit, this Bidens is ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, patio containers and the edges of raised beds, where its cascading stems can spill beautifully over the sides.

Part of the popular Taka Tuka series, this Bidens is known for its vigorous growth, excellent branching and continuous flowering performance from late spring right through to the first frosts. The fine, fern-like foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the warm-toned flowers, and its nectar-rich blooms are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making it a wonderful addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.

This plant is supplied as a 21cm root-ball, well-established and ready to plant out or pot on into your chosen container.
