Plant Profile: Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana'

Dwarf Tickseed is a native, evergreen perennial wildflower belonging to the daisy family. This variety typically grows to a height of 6 to 9 inches and can gradually spread up to 2 feet through its underground stems. In spring, it produces vibrant yellow flowers that bloom individually, with occasional lighter blooms appearing in the summer.

For optimal growth, plant it in moist, well-drained soil, ideally in full sun to partial shade. While it has some drought resistance, it is not as resilient as other tickseed varieties. This plant is excellent for filling spaces around taller plants, which can help reduce the need for mulching. It also works well at the front of garden borders, as an edging plant, ground cover, or in naturalized settings.
