Designer Threads™ Scarlet Ribbons Tickseed

Plant in average to lean, well-drained soil. Space 15–18 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting.

Water regularly after planting; once established it is quite drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers for continuous bloom. Cut back by one-third in midsummer. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 2–3 years in spring. Largely pest-free and deer resistant. Scarlet Ribbons produces vivid, rich scarlet-red flowers with fine, ribbon-like petals- a bold, saturated color in the distinctive Designer Threads™ form. The vivid red is unusually intense for a coreopsis and creates a striking accent in the summer border.
