Presto Tickseed

Presto Tickseed

Perennial


Where do these small stature plants get the energy to perform the way they do?? You won’t get an answer to that question when look at ‘Presto’ but you will shake your head in wonder at the fact that a plant standing a mere 6 to 8″ tall and wide can create such a garden commotion with the size of its flowers and the length of time it blooms! ‘Presto’ is the most compact Tickseed you will find anywhere making it a perfect choice for containers, the front of borders or massing in areas small to large but its flowers are the thing that will stun you. Huge 2 to 2.5″ diameter flowers of deep gold consisting of serrated petals in nearly a double row surrounding a small golden-red center will dominate this plant and obscure it for weeks at a time during its late June through late August bloom time. It’s a show that other Coreopsis as well as many other perennials have to look at enviously but you can look at with pride as performs for you in any sunny, well-drained soil location!
