Jethro Tull Tickseed (Coreopsis ‘Jethro Tull’) is a show-stopping perennial named for the famous flute-playing rocker, and it certainly hits a high note in the garden. This unique hybrid is famous for its “fluted” petalseach golden-yellow flower is made up of elegant, rolled tubes that flare out at the ends. It is one of the most distinctive flower forms in the Tickseed family, creating a texture that is unlike any other daisy-style bloom.
As a compact member of the Coreopsis genus, ‘Jethro Tull’ stays in a tidy, manageable mound of dark green foliage. It is a blooming machine, covering itself in golden-yellow stars from late spring all the way through summer. It is incredibly drought-tolerant once established and is a favorite “refueling station” for butterflies and beneficial insects. Why youll love it: Unique tubular petals, non-stop golden color, and a rugged, heat-tolerant habit that requires very little water once established.
This healthy 4″” live flowering plant excels in full sun and is a reliable, long-lived choice for the front of the border or sunny pots.
