Description

Coreopsis 'Roulette' goes by the latin name Coreopsis tinctoria Roulette or Calliopsis Tinctoria Roulette. It is an annual plant that is remarkable for the original colour of its flowers: mahogany-brown with a yellow underside. The compact, bushy habit of the plant (70 cm high and 30 cm wide) makes it suitable for planting in beds of average height or in pots on the terrace and balcony.

The dainty, airy flowers are borne on slender stems and seem to hover in the wind above its light, vaporous foliage, from June onwards to the first frosts.

Long-lasting as a cut flower, a few flower stalks will blend perfectly with Cosmos, Zinnias, cornflower... creating magnificent summer bouquets.
