Coreopsis Auriculate Nana (also known as Ear-leaved Tickseed, Dwarf Tickseed, and Maysville Daisy) is native to southeastern North America. It has a mounding habit of 6-12 inches tall, with many benefits to offer.
It is most commonly used in borders or for edging. While it is deer and rabbit resistant,
Coreopsis will attract pollinators. It is both drought and frost tolerant and blooms with yellow-orange flowers from May to June; deadheading encourages reblooming in the fall.
It also grows well in containers and is low-maintenance.

Auriculata Nana Selling Tips
Sell Auriculata Nana to your customers who are looking for a hardy, low-maintenance perennial to edge a walkway, finish off a border, or add some bright color to a mixed container. It can also be used as groundcover in small areas, as it typically spreads up to 24 inches. This plant is drought and frost tolerant, requires minimal fertilization, and is not susceptible to pests or disease. Its bright yellow flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators during its spring-summer blooming season.
Coach your customer:
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade about 16-20 inches apart.
Water regularly the first year planted to help it establish an expansive and healthy root system. Do not let the soil completely dry out, and don't overwater; poorly drained soil may result in rot.
In landscape applications, space plants 16-20 inches apart.
Deadhead to encourage continuous blooming, or reblooming in hot climates. Cut back in fall and divide in spring or early fall.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
To achieve the best results with this Coreopsis, use well drained soil in full sun or partial shade with a balanced fertilizer at 150-200 ppm and a pH of 6.1-7.8. Plant one starter plant per 4 inch pot. We recommend spacing pots 4-6 inches apart for airflow and even light penetration. Auriculata Nana doesn't require pinching, is not susceptible to pests or disease, and is frost and drought tolerant.
Flowering
Auriculata Nana flowers May-June. Deadheading flowers can encourage continued blooming in cooler climates or reblooming in climates with a hot summer.
Pinching
We recommend that you pinch Auriculata Nana once, about 10 days after transplanting to your final container (to allow roots time to establish). Deadhead blooms for better production.
Spacing
Space 4 inch pots 4-6 inches apart for airflow and even light penetration. In gallon production, space plants 8-12 inches apart.
Height Control
Coreopsis generally do not need chemical growth regulators under cool-to-moderate temperatures.
Pests
Aphids are the primary problem pests with Coreopsis.
Disease
Auriculata Nana can develop powdery mildew under cool, wet conditions. Prevention is fairly straightforward: water plants early in the day to allow them to dry out before nightfall and provide sufficient spacing to allow for airflow between plants. (We have found horizontal airflow fans to be very effective at preventing fungus outbreaks.) Sprays of Strike, Systhane (Eagle), Pipron, Terraguard, Heritage, and others are effective in controlling powdery mildew outbreaks.
Watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Auriculata Nana Liners
We recommend planting 1 starter plants per 4 inch pot or 1801. Use a well-drained, slightly acidic soil and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. Plant the liner directly in the middle of your pot.
One pinch 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container should be sufficient. Deadhead blooms for better production.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
