If you\u2019re looking for a hanging basket that will last all throughout the summer, bidens are the plant for you. They flower from July until October and are ideal for planting around the edge of baskets. As well as looking fantastic, their fern-type foliage and small yellow flowers are sweetly scented and are therefore sure to draw visitors into your building.<\/p>\n\n\n
