Dwarf Tickseed is a native evergreen perennial wildflower in the daisy family. This cultivar is low growing to 6-9 inches high and will spread slowly to 2 feet by underground stems. The bright showy yellow flowers appear singly in spring with an occasional light blooming during the summer.

Plant in moist well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. It is somewhat drought tolerant but not as much as other tickseeds. This is a great plant to use to fill in around taller plants as this helps cut down on mulching needs. It can also be used at the front of the border, as an edger, groundcover or in a naturalized area.
