Fresh, bright and full of contrast, this cheerful bedding plant lights up containers in seconds. Crisp white petals frame a glowing yellow centre that gently radiates outwards, creating a soft two-tone effect. The single, daisy-like blooms are carried freely above finely cut green foliage, forming a compact, mounded plant with a light trailing habit that softens the edges of pots and hanging baskets.
Flowering reliably from early summer through to the first frosts, it’s a reliable choice for long-lasting colour. Plant in full sun and well-drained compost, keep it watered in dry spells, and feed regularly to maintain momentum. Easy to grow and low maintenance, Bidens ‘Sunbird White-Yellow’ also attracts bees and other pollinators, bringing movement and life to patios, balconies and borders.

Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.
To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
