Coreopsis grandiflora 'CorYel' COREY YELLOW coreopsis, tickseed
Coreopsis
Coreopsis is a wonderful, maintenance-free perennial which shines its way through any garden with richly coloured flowers all summer long. You can have a country garden or be a city-garden enthusiast, coreopsis will still have features suitable for your plot.COREY YELLOW is an eye-catching variety of coreopsis with attractive flowers. They have golden yellow rays and crimson red or almost brown eye around a golden centre. Deadheading will enhance the flowering but is not a must. It flowers abundantly every year. Its leaves are light green, lanceolate, wider than on thread-leaved varieties. The desirable advantage of this variety is that it is not invasive and does not seed itself around like some of the other species. It forms a dense and compact clump.
Coreopsis will grow in almost any soil apart from boggy and heavy clay, and as it withstands drought it is popular for rockeries. Making it a glowing feature in your perennial garden bed is the reasonable and expected way of using it. But placing it among shrubs with different foliage and flowers will mean an honour for this easy and affordable beauty. Fully hardy to -27°C (USDA zone 5).
