Star Tickseed

Unfortunate name for a first-year super performer. Gorgeous yellow. NO need to deadhead. Just keeps blooming at a height of about 2'. Yep, it is lanky. A least this first year. You will want to face it with a shorter plant if you are using it in a bedding situation. Wonderful around our pond and also peaking out from the river birch shade. My husband staked a couple but others are attractively leaning and waving on their own.

Very pleased with the Star Tickseed. This year a group of goldfinches have been visiting my yard to eat seeds off these plants, and they have been delightful to watch.

Sowing Coreopsis pubescens seeds today without stratification. Is stratification really necessary? from MWN 4/18/2017: We haven't really tried to sow it without some stratification--better safe than sorry when trying to grow plants to sell. I suspect some of it will germinate readily. I'd be interested in your results. Marcus

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.
