Plays Well with Others
Creamy white petals are airbrushed with a magenta-pink cast. Deeper pink radiates like a halo around the dark button centers. The tidy, mounded, threadleaf foliage of native Coreopsis Nova Opal provides a pleasing texture variant among thicker-foliaged perennials. Novice and seasoned gardeners alike appreciate this undemanding beauty. With ever-expanding color choices on the market, Tickseed can be used in nearly any garden color scheme. So many positive attributes – pollinator friendly, deer resistant, dried seedheads for songbirds to eat, and they are quite drought and humidity tolerant once established.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
