Coreopsis auriculata 'Zamphir'

Tickseed

'Zamphir' offers unique quilled petals that resemble tiny trumpets flaring out from the daisy-like center. It forms a low mound of small, rounded green leaves, bearing upright stems of golden-orange flowers beginning in early summer. Blooming continues for many weeks if faded flowers are removed. Try mass-planting for impact! This native mouse-ear coreopsis can also be commonly seen spelled 'Zamfir'.
