Tall Tickseed
Coreopsis
Tickseed
The Coreopsis we offer are perennials. They share some characteristics with their annual cousins: they are dependable, easy to work with, and make a quick impact. Though they often play a supporting role, Coreopsis are performers you’ll remember when the show’s over, for foliage as much as for stellar flowers.
Coreopsis tripteris ‘Gold Standard’ (P-1980)
Each 10.50
A new compact selection discovered in Alabama by the Mt. Cuba Center, this lofty North American native yields a sea of solitary, dark-centered yellow daisies with eight round-tipped rays atop strong erect stems, which branch high up and impart an airy stature. Trim, anise-scented green leaves, featuring three narrow lance-shaped segments, garb ‘Gold Standard’s disease-resistant cold-hardy bearing. Easily grown Tall Tickseed is most at home in a meadow-like setting, juxtaposed with the grayish green blades of Panicum ‘Rehbraun’ and purple-flowering Aster turbinellus.
