Redshift Tickseed is a mounding perennial with narrow bright green foliage. Its daisy-like flowers with bright yellow disks start out buttery yellow with deep red centers that spreads out and turns the rest of the flower ruby red as the temperatures cool and bloom continuously from mid summer into fall. Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained soil. Drought, humidity, and road salt tolerance.
