Description
Common name: Tickseed
A flurry of sterile, yellow blossoms with a vibrant red eye appear first in midsummer, intensifying and expanding over most of the flower’s surface in cooler temperatures. They bloom for months, typically through early fall in the Midwest, so there are plenty to pick for fresh bouquets.
Gardeners love threadleaf Coreopsis verticillata but often times find they are not hardy in the colder regions. The SATIN & LACE™ series has overcome this and have proven to the hardiest of the Coreopsis verticillata.Â
Master hybridizer Darrell Probst has presented us Coreopsis with threadleaf foliage on more cold tolerant plants that look great and bloom for months without going dormant too early in the SATIN & LACE™ series. Even better, they are highly resistant to powdery mildew and have sterile flowers so they won’t seed all over the garden
Coreopsis is easy to grow, making it a good choice for beginners. One plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long.
