Description
Tickseed Baby Sun is a compact perennial that delivers months of bright, sunny color to the garden. Vibrant yellow blooms with golden centers and a subtle red ring cover the plant from early summer through mid fall, creating a cheerful display above mounds of green foliage. With its long bloom season and pollinator-friendly flowers, Tickseed Baby Sun is perfect for borders, mass plantings, containers, and cottage-style gardens.
Tickseed Baby Sun thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for sandy, rocky, and low-maintenance landscapes. This easy-care perennial is drought tolerant once established and performs well in poor soils where many other plants struggle. Its compact, mounded habit keeps it looking neat throughout the season, while its abundance of blooms attracts butterflies and provides excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
