Description
Tickseed (Coreopsis auriculata) is a flowering plant native to North America. It typically has a compact, clumping growth habit, with leaves that are narrow and lance-shaped. The flowers are daisy-like, with yellow or orange petals and a dark center. They are typically about an inch in diameter, and bloom in the late spring and summer.
In terms of growing conditions, tickseed prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant and easy to grow, making it a popular choice for gardeners. It is generally considered to be winter hardy, and can tolerate a range of temperatures.
Tickseed is not known to be edible, and is grown primarily for its attractive flowers. It can be used as a border plant or in a wildflower garden, and is attractive to bees and butterflies. It is also sometimes used in naturalized areas or in meadows.
