Coreopsis lanceolata - Another Useful Native!
Coreopsis lanceolata - Tickseed (Organic & Native)
Available here my Local Harvest Store. - 25 seeds/pkg.
An exceptionally easy to grow flower that tolerates a wide range of soil conditions! Tickseed is drought tolerant, but can also withstand prolonged periods of moisture.
You can save the seeds from Coreopsis or let the birds have them. It's a real treat for them!
Coreopsis grows well in either a partially shaded or sunny location. The bright yellow flowers bloom on 2 to 3 feet tall stems.
This wonderful native flower blooms from June right through to September, once the plants are established, during the second year. The foliage of this flower makes an attractive ground cover the remainder of the year. It's a perennial.
None of the seeds I sell are genetically engineered. (I am against gmo's and have taken the safe seed pledge.)
Thanks for viewing, and Happy Gardening!
