Your garden will be smoking hot with Sizzle & Spice Hot Red Vanilla Tickseed, Coreopsis. Mesmerizing  1 ½”  cream flowers have a dark red central eye and form a domed, rounded habit. As the flower ages, the eye gets bigger until it comprises most of the flower. The flowers will cover the gray-green, threadleaf foliage early through late summer. What sets this Tickseed apart is its clump-forming habit. It stays neat and tidy all season. It grows 18″ tall and about 2′ wide.

Use Tickseed in perennial, rock, and cottage gardens. An ideal plant for the front of the border, as an edger, or as a weed-smothering ground cover.

Plant in sunny locations, spots that get at least 6 hours of sun a day. Although drought tolerant once established, for best results, keep well watered. Cutting plants back after flowering will encourage more blooming.
