Citrine Tickseed

Coreopsis x 'Citrine'

Citrine Tickseed is a self-cleaning clumping  perennial with narrow deep green foliage.  Its bright electric yellow daisy-like flowers with darker 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.

 LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings,  Borders,  Woodland Gardens,  Naturalized Areas,  Rock Gardens, Foundational Plantings, and Containers.
