Ruby Frost Coreopsis (Tickseed) shimmers with true, ruby-red blooms laced with a fringe of white. Large blooms are held elegantly above a compact mound of fine-cut foliage. Delicate foliage adds texture and contrast to the garden. Abundant blooms attract bees, and butterflies, while songbirds find the seed heads irresistible. Makes a lovely cut flower. (Coreopsis hybrid)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
16-26" tall x 24-36" wide. Ruby Frost Coreopsis (Tickseed) from the Hardy Jewel™Series adds vibrant heavy-blooming color to containers, borders, and cottage gardens. Perfect for naturalizing in drifts among meadow plantings or tucking along rock gardens. Coreopsis are native to North America and easy to grow on any well-drained soil in full sun. Plants thrive in poor soils and are drought tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering. Plants bloom over a long season from early summer through frost with regular deadheading. Simply shear back the top one-third of the plant after flowering to freshen foliage and ignite a fresh flurry of blooms. Divide every two to three years in spring as needed. Rugged and adaptable, plants are deer and pest-resistant.
