Coreopsis tinctoria Roulette

The Elegant Roulette Coreopsis, bears the Latin name Coreopsis tinctoria Roulette or Calliopsis Tinctoria Roulette. It is an annual plant remarkable for the original color of its flowers: mahogany brown with yellow undersides. The compact and bushy habit of the plant (70 cm (27.6 in) tall by 30 cm wide) makes it suitable for planting in medium-height flower beds or in pots on the terrace and balcony.

The delicate and airy flowers borne on slender stems seem to hover in the wind above its light and vaporous foliage from June until the first frost.

With good vase life, a few flowering stems will blend ideally with Cosmos, Zinnias, Centaureas, etc. to create magnificent summer bouquets.

The ecological gesture:
By sowing Coreopsis in your garden, you will attract pollinating insects and other beneficial insects, enticed by the scent of their flowers' nectar. This will improve the health of your garden ecosystem, which will be particularly important in obtaining numerous fruits and vegetables. So plant a few plants near your vegetable garden.
