Tickseed 'Shades of Rose', Threadleaf Coreopsis 'Shades of Rose', PERMATHREAD™ Series

If cut back, the plant can be encouraged to rebloom until frost. Easy to grow, this Threadleaf Coreopsis is perfect for sunny perennial borders, mass plantings or patio containers. As an added bonus, one plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long.
