Bidens aristosa also known as Tickseed Sunflower
Grows wild at the side of Paramore park on Fire Tower Road, which is where I collected the seed for these in the Wildflower Garden at the Pitt County Arboretum.
A true Pitt County native annual!
The October 6th tour at 10 am
at the Arboretum
will feature seed collection
especially in the wildflower garden
Hardy Ageratum (Conoclinium coelstinum) is another fall flower you see blooming on the side of the road here. An aggressive spreader by root & seed, but the color is something I could not be without.
It seems to go on forever here in the circle.
The trick to having this in your garden is to pull it all out in the winter
Magically it always appears again next year. Not necessarily in the same place!
Pairing this with Muhly Grass
(Muhlenbergia capillaris)
at left, just starting to bloom,
would be a fine sight to see.
