Plant Features
Our Heliot Coreopsis Plant is a Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner. Fleuroselect is an international organization for the Ornamental Plants industry, the Heliot Tickseed being chosen for this distinction due to its compact size and striking color. Known to attract butterflies, this heat resistant plant forms a dwarf, nicely-rounded mound with dark green leaves topped by an abundance of brilliantly-colored yellow flowers with a distinctive burgundy corolla around a golden eye. Spectacular!
