Description

15-18" tall x 20-26" wide. With a beautiful rounded form, Sizzle & Spiceā„¢Crazy Cayenne Coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata) adds mounds of color to the summer garden. The low profile of this Coreopsis (commonly known as Tickseed) is perfect for edging sunny borders or tucking into mixed containers. Plant alongside broadleaf perennials for textural contrast or naturalize in drifts among meadow plantings. Also excellent for slopes. The fine, gray-green foliage pairs well with Echinacea or spikes of Veronica. Sizzle and Spiceā„¢Series Coreopsis have true winter hardiness, a compact habit, and long-lasting color. This versatile perennial tolerates hot, dry sites as well as high humidity. Coreopsis are native to North America and quite adaptable. Performs well in poor, dry soils. Divide every two to three years as desired. Plants are drought tolerant once established. Deer resistant and salt tolerant.

SAD STOCK SHIPPED

"I ordered this product as a live plant, expecting the same quality I've received from other reputable growers. Instead, it was in a bit of soil but sheltered in cardboard, and there was barely any green showing. I planted it directly in the ground with other coreopsis plants. It does within days despite my best efforts. I called American Meadows. They replaced it and shipped it again. This time, there was green showing, but it was ONE STEM…not what most companies would send as a pottted perennial. It also withered and died. Appreciated the replacement, but…very disappointed."

Tiny plants …. not much to them but are healthy

"Well, we shall see … very small plants but seem to be holding up against all this rain we're having. Hoping to see some blooms when we finally see the sun."

— Garden W. (4/5)

Love these for the bees!

"I had my doubts when these first arrived as a couple were damaged in transit but after reaching out to customer service I was assured they would come back and they have! Great for the bees perfect in a very sunny spot along the driveway."
