Moonbeam Threadleaf Tickseed is a beloved and long-blooming perennial, cherished for its delicate, airy texture and continuous display of soft, buttery-yellow flowers. Its fine, thread-like foliage forms a dense, bushy mound that becomes covered from early summer to fall with a profusion of small, daisy-like blooms. This tough, heat-tolerant, and easy-care plant adds a luminous, cheerful presence to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, asking for little but giving so much in return.

Prolific, Long-Lasting Soft Yellow Blooms: Produces a continuous, abundant display of small, single, pale lemon-yellow flowers from early summer well into fall.
Fine, Fern-Like Foliage and Airy Texture: Features very narrow, needle-like leaves arranged in whorls, creating a delicate, lacy mound of bright green foliage.
Exceptional Heat and Drought Tolerance: Once established, it thrives in full sun, withstands high heat, and is remarkably drought-tolerant, making it a star of low-water gardens.
Low-Maintenance and Self-Cleaning: Requires minimal care. While deadheading promotes even more blooms, it is not strictly necessary as it flowers freely and the old blossoms tend to fade discreetly.
Pollinator Friendly and Versatile: Attracts butterflies and other beneficial insects. Perfect for mass planting, the front of sunny borders, rock gardens, or naturalistic plantings.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Does it need to be divided often?
A: Yes, to maintain vigor and prevent the center from dying out, it's a good practice to divide the clump every 2-3 years in early spring or fall. This is easy to do and helps rejuvenate the plant.

Q: How do I keep it blooming all summer?
A: While it blooms prolifically on its own, the best practice for maximum flower production is to shear or cut the entire plant back by about one-third after the first major flush of blooms begins to fade (usually in midsummer). This encourages fresh growth and a strong re-bloom in late summer and fall.
