Notes
'Star Cluster' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Star Cluster') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and it is drought tolerant. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and blooms in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Yarrow, Clustered bellflower, and Feather reed grass.
