Pink Coreopsis, Pink Tickseed, Rose Tickseed
Noted for its long, continuous flowering season, Coreopsis rosea (Pink Tickseed) is an erect rhizomatous perennial forming dense, bushy clumps of fine-textured, airy, grass-like, light green leaves. In summer and early fall, a profusion of starry rosy-pink flowers, up to 1 in. across (2.5 cm), are borne on short stems. Their golden center disk provides a nice contrast to the 8 rich pink ray florets. Blooming for months, Pink Tickseed is a lovely sight in the garden with its airy mounds of delicate thread-like foliage, covered with beautiful flowers. Easy to grow, and relatively pest and disease free, this coreopsis species can make a terrific colony and complements other annuals and perennials very well. Unlike most other coreopsis, this plant is not tolerant of dry soil or heat.
