Notes
'Goldfink' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Goldfink') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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. It stays small, at 9 to 12 inches tall and 6 to 9 inches wide. Yellow flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
