Notes
'Honeybunch Red & Gold' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Honeybunch Red & Gold') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and it tolerates drought. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Hidcote lavender, Shasta daisy, and Feather reed grass.
