Coreopsis grandiflora Presto
Large-flowered Tickseed, Golden Tickseed
I managed to get several sowings through this winter and especially through all the rain. I’m waiting for the flowers this summer and maybe to collect a few seeds to try sowing again – thank you.

Description
The dwarf, large-flowered tickseed 'Presto' is a perennial plant belonging to the group of Coreopsis grandiflora, which normally consists of medium to tall varieties (45 to 90 cm). This variety is the result of a long process of selection based on the size of the plant and the speed of the onset of flowering. The dwarf and compact habit of this variety (20 cm high) makes it suitable for flowerbed borders, rock gardens, containers on the terrace and window boxes on the balcony. Unlike most perennial varieties of Coreopsis, this variety flowers from the first year from seed.
It is also a perennial plant that is distinguished for the abundance and quality of its golden yellow flowers. The flowers, 6 cm across, are semi-double to double and repeat bloom from June to the end of August.
The dark green foliage forms a small compact mound of lanceolate leaves.
These exceptional attributes led to this plant being awarded the Fleuroselect Gold Medal in 2007.
In the garden, provide it with a sunny location and rich, well-drained soil.
Eco-gesture :
By sowing Coreopsis in your garden, you will attract pollinating insects and other useful insects that will be lured by the smell of the nectar emanating from their flowers. In this way, you can improve the quality of your garden's ecosystem which is very important for improving fruit and vegetable harvests. So be sure to plant a few Coreopsis close to your vegetable garden.

Planting and care
Sow the Coreopsis in February-March, in a seed tray. Use good quality soil, possibly enriched with garden compost. Broadcast sow your seeds. Cover the seeds with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, tamp down lightly and water generously with a fine spray. Place your pots in a bright spot without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 20 to 25° C.
Seed emergence will take 21 to 30 days. As soon as the plants have reached a height of 10 cm, transplant them into little pots. 15 days before their planting them out in their final positions, begin to acclimatize them gradually to a temperature of 15° C.
At the end of May, beginning of June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant out your seedlings Choose a site with plenty of sunshine. Add a good shovelful of garden compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 20 cm apart.
It is possible to direct sow Coreopsis in the garden, but you will have to wait until all risk of frost has passed, around mid-May.
By removing faded flowers, you will encourage further blooming and prolong the flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
