Coreopsis

The delicacy and incredible abundance of flowers make coreopsis an indispensable plant for every lover of airy flowerbeds. In the garden, it will especially appreciate full sun and well-drained loamy soil. It is an exceptionally undemanding plant that does not suffer from pests or diseases. It forms compact clumps from which floods of flowers grow throughout the summer until autumn. It is perfectly suited for the edges of flowerbeds or in the company of shorter drought-tolerant grasses. The Full Moon variety will captivate you with its more vigorous growth and beautiful light yellow, almost creamy shade. Unlike other cultivars, its color looks very soft and thus easily combines with more prominent perennials. Although it is a short-lived perennial, by regularly removing faded stems, you will support its vitality. The sturdy stems with flowers are absolutely ideal for summer bouquets, giving them a meadow character, and they will stay beautiful in a vase for approximately seven days.

Tickseed 'Christchurch' is one of the longest-blooming perennials you can plant in a sunny spot. Its original home is the vast North American prairies and edges of bright forests. Here, it will appreciate similar conditions, meaning plenty of sunlight and ordinary, well-drained loamy soil. Soon after planting, the grown seedling will form a dense and neat clump, from which dozens of sturdy stems will begin to rise as early as the beginning of summer. Thanks to its immense vitality and frost resistance, it is a reliable plant that even less experienced growers will have success with. It is not troubled by pests and is generally very resilient. The bright yellow flowers of the 'Christchurch' variety light up every corner of the garden and gradually open from June to the end of September. This persistent blooming marathon is a huge attraction for pollinators, making the beds come alive with the presence of bees and butterflies. The strong stems and bold colors make this tickseed perfect material for creating summer bouquets. You can also use the faded flower heads in dry autumn arrangements.
