Notes
'Autumn Blush' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Autumn Blush') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Peachy-yellow petals surround a red center, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. It flowers in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Jeana garden phlox, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
