A must-have for cottage and pollinator gardens, Coreopsis Rosea (also called Pink Tickseed) has soft pink daisy-like flowers that bloom continuously all summer. Unlike traditional yellow Coreopsis, this unique variety produces delicate rosy-pink blooms with bright yellow centers that seem to float above airy green foliage. Similar to Cosmos, Coreopsis Rosea produces masses of flowers on slender stems that sway beautifully in the breeze and hold up well in fresh-cut bouquets.

Gardeners love Coreopsis Rosea because it combines delicate color with exceptional toughness and reliability. Perennial in Zones 4 to 9, this easy care plant blooms for months, attracts butterflies and beneficial pollinators, and performs beautifully in borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and naturalized plantings. Its compact growth habit and nonstop flowering make it one of the most rewarding long-blooming perennials for sunny garden spaces.
