Watch for an explosion of color when the 2” yellow flowers open, exposing a deep burgundy red banding around a golden center. Blossoms will keep bursting from early summer into fall on 12-15” tall medium green foliage. The foliage of this Tickseed has a finer texture than C. grandiflora but not as delicate as C. verticillata. Plant 18” apart.
