Desert Coral Coreopsis (Tickseed) produces sprays of gorgeous two-tones blooms month after month from early summer through autumn. Warm sunny blooms have a darker coral-red center, fading to peach along the tips. Blooms invite butterflies and bees to the garden. Cut flowers last up to two weeks in the vase. Cold hardy, low maintenance, and reliable. (Coreopsis hybrid)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
9-12" tall x 12-15" wide. with Desert Coral Coreopsis (Tickseed) was selected for superior flower power and a dwarf, mounding habit. There is never a dull moment, with this Coreopsis cultivar, as plants bloom continuously, with new blossoms quickly covering the old flowers for no down time between blooms. Bright green foliage is disease resistant. Coreopsis is easy to grow, just give them plenty of sunshine and dry to medium, well-drained soil. Plants perform well on hot, dry sites and are drought tolerant once established. Low-growing Desert Coral Coreopsis works well at the front of beds and borders and is beautiful planted in mass. The compact habit is perfect for rock gardens or tucking into containers. Try naturalizing this North American native in meadows and native plantings. Plants benefit from spring division every two to three years. Deer resistant and salt tolerant.
