Q: I am thinking of planting this in a bed near my driveway entrance. The location is at the bottom of a small hill and while water doesn't stand there, it does stay moist most of the year. It is full sun. Would this plant do well here?

Asked by: chris - 4/4/2020

A: It will probably be alright, though it prefers well-drained growing conditions. Tall coreopsis might be a better choice as it likes wetter conditions. You could also try showy coneflower or orange coneflower, if you're looking for yellows.

Q: I want wildflowers which will do well in rocky soil on a hill. It is mostly shaded with cedar trees. Is Star Tickseed a good choice. What other plants do you recommend?

Asked by: Bonnie - 4/11/2020

A: It depends on how dense the cedars are. In dense cedar stands, you could try pussytoes and cedar sedge or oak sedge. Bee balm, dittany, Ohio horsemint, jumpseed, cliff goldenrod, and star tickseed may also work. However, when you walk through dense stands of cedar, you just don't see a lot of other vegetation.
