Sunkiss Tickseed is a compact mounding native perennial with narrow deep green foliage that is pinnate at the top and linear at the base.  Large bright yellow daisy-like flowers with burgundy centers yellow disks bloom from late spring into summer.  Prompt deadheading can prevent spread and encourage additional bloom in fall.  Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained soil.  Drought, humidity, and road salt tolerance.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance. Can be an aggressive self-seeder- deadhead in spring to encourage extended bloom and prevent spreading.  Crown rot may occur in moist, poorly-drained soils.  Foliage decline may occur in hot summers if the soil is allowed to dry out.  Snails and slugs can be a problem.
