This native plant is drought-tolerant, deer- and rabbit-resistant, and can handle everything from high temperatures to poor soils. Deadheading promotes new blooms, so be sure to clip off spent flowers. And place in a location where slightly acidic-to-neutral soil drains well. Every few years, divide your Tickseed for its best performance.

Tickseed is easy-growing and has a lot of flower power packed into one continuously blooming plant. Sterntaler has golden flowers with fringed petals and brownish-red eyes. It is the perfect plant to get noticed in the perennial garden, in a meadow of wildflowers, or even in a container. Strong green foliage fills out as the season progresses, with the golden flowers lighting things up beautifully. Sterntaler, the name, is from a German fairy tale in which stars that fall from the sky turn a poor and very giving child into someone who is rich. In keeping with the tale, the namesake plant is sure to turn your garden rich with starry-yellow blooms all summer long.
