Unfortunately, the coreopsis did not thrive; they have completely vanished. Yet, they had blossomed a little.

Description
The Coreopsis 'Desert Coral' is a new variety of hardy coreopsis still relatively rare. It stands out for its compact habit and long flowering period in shades of peach, salmon, and red. From summer to the first frosts, a multitude of flowers gradually take on purplish hues, starting from the heart, which is also red, on a dark green and well-groomed plant. In autumn, they will be almost entirely red and beautifully speckled with orange, while softer shades prevail in summer. Plant it in well-exposed borders, not too-dry rockeries, natural garden areas... or in a pot on the terrace.
Coreopsis belongs to the Asteraceae family. 'Desert Coral' is part of a recently developed series of hybrids in the United States called 'Hardy Jewell'. It combines varieties selected for their cold resistance, long flowering period, and vigour. All these qualities are present in 'Desert Coral'. This rhizomatous perennial quickly forms a small bushy clump measuring 30 cm (12in) in all directions. The flowering period runs from late June to October, almost without interruption. The 4 cm (2in) diameter flower heads open in a peach tone and gradually darken to a salmon pink to orange, while a red area appears in the centre, which may extend more or less towards the periphery of the flowers. A disc of red fertile florets occupies the centre of the flower head. As the temperature drops, at the end of the season, the flowers take on a dark red hue. They are borne on short, upright stems. This plant has opposite, lanceolate, finely divided leaves measuring 4 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in length and dark green.
Coreopsis 'Desert Coral' is a hardy and robust perennial with multiple uses. Plant it in a rockery, on a countryside-like slope with wallflowers, Damask violets, echinaceas, small grasses (Stipa, Carex, Eragrostis), and wild flax, in an herbaceous border alongside Teucrium chamaedrys or x lucidrys, cosmos, and annual cornflowers. In a pot or container, this plant blooms continuously from the first year. For a beautiful summer display, it can be paired with Echinacea purpurea Catharina, Calamintha glandulosa, and Nepeta 'Dawn to dusk' in the ground or a large pot with a bit of water. It makes a beautiful flower for summer bouquets.

Planting and care
Coreopsis plants don't like winter moisture and heavy soils. But 'Desert Coral' is easy to care for and can grow well in good, well-drained garden soil. They need full sun and some moisture in the soil to bloom properly. They prefer a light and porous soil that can be slightly acidic, neutral, or alkaline, even if it's not very rich. They can also grow well in soil with humus as long as the drainage is perfect. When grown in ideal conditions, they can live for a long time and bloom beautifully. To help them grow again in the fall, it's best to remove the faded flowers, especially towards the end of August. Pruning in late September will encourage new basal shoots to grow.

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.
