Coreopsis, sometimes referred to as Tickseed, is a perennial flower typically seen in happy shades of yellow and gold, with some species also containing touches of red, bronze and burgundy. They provide an eye-catching floral show from spring to summer wherever they are planted. and they’re considered drought tolerant.
Give Coreopsis a sunny location with well-drained soil, and they will reward you with an abundance of colorful flowers on an easy-care drought tolerant plant. Coreopsis is a pollinator magnet attracting bees and butterflies to their blooms and birds to their seeds. They are normally resistant to deer and rabbits.
