The Tickseed, also known as Domino, is a tall, brightly colored plant. The flower is bright yellow with a maroon eye. The flower itself is large, 2” in diameter, and solitary. It is very similar in appearance to an oversized daisy. The bloom tops a stem which rises majestically to between 1 to 1.5”. The spread is the same dimension as its height.

Prefers full sun, this plant is very tolerant of heat, humidity and drought. It is short-lived. To maintain the plant’s heartiness, division is necessary every 2-3 years.
