Notes
'Cherry Lemonade' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Cherry Lemonade') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or clay soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Calamint, Clary sage, and Northwind switchgrass.
