Perennial | Coreopsis grandiflora "Double the Sun" (Tickseed)

Plant Info

Coreopsis grandiflora 'Double the Sun', commonly known as Tickseed, is a dazzling perennial that produces double  golden yellow flowers from early summer into fall. The long lasting blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, bringing continuous colour and activity to the garden. Its compact, bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, and containers, while regular deadheading encourages even more flowers throughout the season. This easy growing plant thrives in sunny locations, tolerates heat and short periods of drought once established, and performs best in well-drained soil. The bright blooms also make attractive cut flowers, adding sunny colour to indoor arrangements.

Culture

This plant is grown in a soiless media in a 2L pot. The coco liner on top of the soil reduces moisture loss and prevents the growth of weeds within the pot. It is 100% organic coconut fiber and has no synthetic materials.  When planting, you can keep the liner below the plant and it will break down and enhance the soil over time. Please do not bury the liner in the soil or under mulch. Only apply mulch up to the soil liner.
