Big Bang™ Cosmic Eye Tickseed

Coreopsis x 'Cosmic Eye'

Cosmic Eye Tickseed is a compact mounding perennial with narrow bright green foliage.  Golden yellow daisy-like flowers with broad deep burgundy centers and dark yellow disks bloom continuously from summer into fall.  Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained soil.  Drought, humidity, and road salt tolerance. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance. Can be an aggressive self-seeder- deadhead in spring to encourage extended bloom and prevent spreading.  Crown rot may occur in moist, poorly-drained soils.  Foliage decline may occur in hot summers if the soil is allowed to dry out.  Snails and slugs can be a problem.
