Coreopsis 'Jethro Tull' (Tickseed)

Tickseed 'Jethro Tull', 'Jethro Tull' Tickseed


Hardy and highly floriferous, Coreopsis 'Jethro Tull' is a small perennial forming a compact, outward-spreading mound of elliptic green leaves. Blooming profusely from early through mid-summer, it is covered with brilliant golden yellow flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), with fluted petals. Its compact size makes it perfect for beds, borders, containers, and small gardens where it will provide unbeatable color impact. One plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets nearly all summer long.

  • Grows up to 18 in. tall and wide (45 cm).
  • Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade (specifically in hot summer areas) and enjoys dry to medium moisture, and well-drained soils. Thrives in poor, sandy or rocky soils and is drought and deer tolerant.
  • Easy to grow, unfussy, and relatively low maintenance, this Coreopsis is a favorite of bees and butterflies.
  • Welcomed addition to the front of borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, or containers.
  • Midsummer shearing (after the first flush of flowers) will keep this plant looking its best all season.
  • Coreopsis, commonly known as Tickseeds, are a favorite of many gardeners thanks to the bright colors of their flowers and their ability to put up with most garden soils. There are over 100 species available and countless hybrids. Most of them are low maintenance, drought tolerant and enjoy long blooming seasons. Workhorse perennials in the sunny borders, they make excellent cut flowers.
