I have been looking for a source for this flower I saw in a garden park in Germany. I think it is an Apache beggarticks (Bidens ferulifolia) variety. Can anyone tell me if theyve seen this in USA?

Nope, I've never seen it... very pretty.

Thank you. Yes it is quite striking. I have not yet found a source for seed or plant but will continue... short of going back to Germany and stealing some cuttings.

I think it's the variety called Red Star, more of that star shape rather than the more rounder of Red Eye. I only found it listed in UK nurseries.

Or this one https://buyplants.co.uk/produc... which may be the same, sometimes vendors add to names.
FYI, Bidens ferulifolia is a synonym now for Bidens aurea

I think I saw some like that at the Home Depot pack trials last March. It may be showing up at stores next Spring.
