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.
