Is this yellow bidden? I have look for this on line and have no luck!! It sure stays in bloom. It is a perennial, right?
Thanks--Marsha

It doesn't look like a biden. It looks like some kind of coreopsis. :)

Sorry to disagree with flowersandthings, but it does look like Biden. It is an annual.

Here is a link that might be useful: Biden from Thompson and Morgan

My guess is coreopsis also

RE: Right or Wrong~~~

It's not coreopsis, though I can see why it might be mistaken for one as flower shape/color is similar. The foliage is wrong, and the shape of clump and height is wrong for it to be a threadleaf coreopsis like zagreb. (Too bright to be c.moonbeam.) It is Bidens tenuifolia, and a very nice clump at that.

Thanks Rob333, it is a yellow bidden. I thought it was a perennial..darn!!!
It really had me confused cause it is so close to coreopsis.
Thanks gardeners for your responses!!!
