Sizzle & Spice™Crazy Cayenne Coreopsis (Tickseed) adds hot color to the garden all summer long with vibrant orange blooms accented in golden hues. A thread-leaf coreopsis, Crazy Cayenne boasts feathery foliage that adds texture to the garden. The bright blooms attract bees and butterflies and make lovely cut flowers. Easy to grow in full sun and any well-drained soil. (Coreopsis verticillata)
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).
15-18" tall x 20-26" wide. With a beautiful rounded form, Sizzle & Spice™Crazy Cayenne Coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata) adds mounds of color to the summer garden. The low profile of this Coreopsis (commonly known as Tickseed) is perfect for edging sunny borders or tucking into mixed containers. Plant alongside broadleaf perennials for textural contrast or naturalize in drifts among meadow plantings. Also excellent for slopes. The fine, gray-green foliage pairs well with Echinacea or spikes of Veronica. Sizzle and Spice™Series Coreopsis have true winter hardiness, a compact habit, and long-lasting color. This versatile perennial tolerates hot, dry sites as well as high humidity. Coreopsis are native to North America and quite adaptable. Performs well in poor, dry soils. Divide every two to three years as desired. Plants are drought tolerant once established. Deer resistant and salt tolerant.
