Coreopsis

The coreopsis is seen in many flower gardens just because it’s so pretty.

It is also known as Tickseed because its seeds resemble ticks.

It will flower through the summer – mostly with yellow or orange daisy-like flowers.  It can also have flowers in white, pale purple, pink or multi-colors. If you dead-head it, you’ll get more flowers.

There are over 80 varieties with both single and multi blooms.  It is a perennial in our area.

It loves full sun and is drought-tolerant.  Bees and butterflies love it, and it is resistant to damage from deer and rabbits.

They will add some bright color to your garden.
