Tickseed Plants

Tickseed Plants are considered by many gardeners to be one of the best native wildflowers for use just about anywhere. Butterflies love them while deer avoid them, so spread them around! Normally grown as a perennial, these new varieties are grown as annuals in most areas.

You may also know Tickseed as Coreopsis (pronounced ko-ree-OP-sis). This plant produces daisy-like flowers all summer and into the fall and comes in a stunning array of colors. They are known for their long bloom season; deadheading encourages even more prolific blooming. The foliage of most Tickseed is green, with a fern-like look and the drought-tolerant nature of Tickseed makes it a great plant for container gardens or near the road or mailbox where it may not get watered regularly.

Cherry Pie Tickseed Plant

Price $4.90

Our 'Cherry Pie' Tickseed Plant is one of the most vividly red plants you will grow. Literally "popping" with color, some gardeners say they can barely look at this coreopsis in the bright sunlight; this color is so very intense. A selection from Terra Nova Nurseries, this herbaceous tender perennial is most often grown as an annual, though we can’t imagine you won't want to grow this one every year if you can. Its masses of daisy-like blooms generously cover the entire plant and will continue to do so with diligent deadheading. (A hint: though deadheading sounds like a tedious job; it can be quite relaxing and therapeutic. Just do it; you’ll see!)

Pineapple Pie Tickseed Plant

Price $4.90

The 'Pineapple Pie' Tickseed Plant is as yummy and refreshing as it sounds. First appearing as pretty orangey buds, the flowers on this Coreopsis plant open a surprising pineapple-yellow with a cherry-red eye and corona. Sitting atop deep green, feathery foliage, the total picture is one of sunshine and roses…or pineapples and cherries.
