Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana'
Ear-leaved tickseed (Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana') is an amazing plant for its abundance of bright yellow blooms and its compact, rounded shape. These resilient plants are low maintenance, drought tolerade and happy in full sun - making them an excellent choice for even novice gardeners. They will add color to any garden and thrive in almost any soil type. A key feature that sets this plant apart from other tickseeds is its petite size and short mounding habit. Its petite foliage and delicate daisy-like flowers are stunning when lit up by the sun while its bold yellow hues provide a pop of brightness in any landscape.

sunlight
Ear-leaved Tickseed (Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana') is considered a full sun lover, meaning it needs at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day to thrive. It will also be happy with a few hours of morning sun followed by dappled shade during the hot afternoon hours. When grown in part-shade, the plant will require less water, helping to prevent any excess leaf scorch or burnt foliage. Ear-leaved Tickseed is not overly fussy when it comes to the time of year when they receive the sun. This plant does well regardless of the season, whether it’s during the summer, winter, fall, or spring months.
pruning
Ear-leaved tickseed should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Pruning should be done by removing dead and damaged stems and by removing thatch (the dry layer of grass and other debris that builds up in the center of the plant). Ear-leaved tickseed should also be trimmed back to keep the plants more compact and promote a bushier formation. If desired, the plant can also be lightly sheared to encourage fuller growth and bushier foliage. Cut back non-flowering stems by 1-third to 1-half, and prune off dead flowers. As a general rule, it is best to prune no more than 1-third of the plant in a single pruning session.
