Description

Coreopsis Solar Jewel is an incredibly floriferous perennial plant, brightening borders and containers with its large, bright yellow flowers with an intense red centre. Like a shower of little suns, its flowering renews from June to November, in an explosion of warm colours. This easy-going plant brings energy and plenty of light to even the smallest outdoor spaces.

Belonging to the Asteraceae familyCoreopsis grandiflora Solar® Jewel is part of the SOLAR® series, developed in the Netherlands by Marco van Noort. This cultivar was awarded a bronze medal at Plantarium 2022, highlighting its exceptional floriferousness and ornamental value. It quickly forms a dense clump of around 40 cm tall and 30 cm wide, with bright green semi-evergreen foliage. The 5-6 cm flower heads, are borne on slender yet sturdy stems, resisting wind well and attracting numerous pollinating insects. Its flowering can be prolonged by regularly removing spent flowers. Fast-growing and boasting spectacular flowering, it can even be grown as an annual in certain seasonal displays. Solar® Jewel also shines for its hardiness: undemanding in terms of water, resistant to heat, humidity, and mildew, this variety thrives effortlessly in all types of well-drained soil. It proves generous and reliable from the first summer.

Coreopsis grandiflora Solar® Jewel is a true gem for the creative gardener. Its bright yellow flowers with red centres blaze in borders from summer to autumn. This perennial also excels in colourful containers, where it welcomes pollinators. It pairs beautifully with purple rudbeckias 'Cherry Brandy', Bidens, or white gaura and Nepeta mussinii, creating dynamic scenes. For a more natural look, it can be combined with airy grasses like Stipa tenuifolia, yellow yarrow or warm-toned coneflowers for a fiery palette.

Planting and care

Coreopsis grandiflora Solar Jewel does not like stagnant moisture in winter or heavy, clayey, and compact soils. To thrive, this plant requires full sun and light, porous soil that is rich but not excessively so, always well-drained, neither too dry nor waterlogged. It tolerates a wide range of pH levels, from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. Under these conditions, it flowers generously and proves to be long-lasting in the garden. To encourage flowering, it is important to regularly remove faded flowers. Severe pruning in July promotes a new wave of flowers in autumn and helps extend the plant's lifespan. Finally, remember to divide the clumps every three years or so to rejuvenate them and maintain their vigour.
