Notes
'Starlight' tickseed (Coreopsis 'Starlight') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Blanket flower, and Red-hot poker.
