A bright and cheerful tickseed whose cultivar name, ‘Bengal Tiger,’ refers to its bountiful and brightly bicolored blooms from summer through fall, as well as how many butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds it attracts!
The flowers are lemon-yellow with a wide burgundy-red ring at the center. This tickseed will spread slowly but surely to ultimately create a cluster 18 to 24 inches high and wide. The fine, feathery, fern-like green leaves complement the robust flowers and are mildew-resistant.
All Coreopsis require full sun, are drought tolerant once established, deer resistant, and attract many pollinators for months. They are known as extremely tough plants which adapt to both dry and moist growing conditions, but actually thrive in poor soils as long as there is decent drainage.
This is nicely partnered with other sun-loving perennials such as Western Columbine, Pearly Everlasting, Yarrows/Achillea, Catmint/Nepeta, Gaura, Caryopteris, Echinacea, and many more!
