Perfect to create a stunning floral display in the garden. Requiring no deadheading, this Tickseed has great disease resistance. Its compact size makes it perfect for beds, borders, containers, and small gardens.

Most of them are low maintenance, drought tolerant, and enjoy long blooming seasons. Workhorse perennials in the sunny borders, they make excellent cut flowers.
