Thank you for your question. Several of us have looked at this and believe it may be this plant, although it has a different number of petals, which may have broken off: https://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=3749
Hope this is helpful.
Thank you, Kristena and all.
Yes I see on more recent blooms this tickseed has five petals, not four. I will be sure to plant more in the spring as a bright border plant and hopefully these perennials make it through the 2020 winter!
