Coreopsis Gold Standard

Tickseed

Sorry Sold Out

Lofty and robust bright lemon-yellow flowers.

Lofty and robust, the towering blue-green foliage will reach its full mass in summer. Bright lemon-yellow flowers in late summer also bloom on shorter, secondary growth dispersing color throughout the entire plant. An impressive finale to the late summer garden! Beneficial pollinators still foraging for nectar will be most grateful for this refueling station.

Coreopsis Gold Standard was a front-runner in trials at the botanical gardens of Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware in 2015. The unusual upright foliage holds flowers on strong stems. Extremely cold hardy and easy-to-grow.

Coreopsis Plant Care

Likes a hot dry spot. Leave new fall growth at the base for overwintering. Benefits from division every 2-3 years in spring.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
