Notes
'Red Chiffon' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Red Chiffon') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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 moist soil of most types. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and blooms in early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and it handles dry spells well. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Red-hot poker, and Lavender.
