The Red Satin Tickseed are long-blooming, drought tolerant and disease resistant, fearless little perennial that is also seedless!

These easy-to-grow flowers are abundant jewels for your garden design!

When not in flower, they are just as beautiful! A healthy mound of bright-green foliage boasts finely cut leaves and long deep lobes. Plants emerge a bit later in the spring but profusely bloom all summer into fall. The more you cut, the more they bloom, so keep your vases full and your pollinators will be full too! Compact, rounded mounds valiantly tolerate sweltering sunny, hot dry garden beds.
