Description
The Cream Coreopsis from the 'UpTick' series, with its large cream-coloured daisy-like flowers, possesses all the qualities that have earned this new hybrid series multiple awards. This lovely perennial stands out with its particularly wide flowers, generous and long-lasting flowering, good disease resistance, as well as compact and vigorous growth. It thrives in the sun, in a cool but well-drained soil, both in borders and pots. Its charming flowers are also highly visited by garden bees.
The 'UpTick Cream' Coreopsis belongs to the Aster family. This herbaceous perennial plant with rhizomes quickly forms a shrub 20 cm (8in) tall, with a diameter of 30 cm (12in), and does not require staking. Flowering occurs from June to September. The flowers, arranged in heads, measuring up to 7 cm (3in) in diameter, are solitary and borne on slightly hairy stems rising 30-35 cm (12-14in) from the ground, just above the foliage. The foliage, a beautiful bright green, is deciduous: it dies in autumn and regrows in spring. The leaves, opposite, lanceolate, entire, sometimes incised at the base, almost sessile (without petiole), measure about 10 cm (4in) long. This perennial spreads a little through its rhizomes.
The 'UpTick Cream' coreopsis is a full-sun plant that dislikes winter moisture and heavy soils. A versatile perennial, it will thrive in flower pots and look stunning in a slightly raised bed or on a slope. It can be paired in an herbaceous border with wallflowers, poppies, blue or purple perennial salvias, and campanulas. This plant blooms continuously from the first year. For a beautiful summer display, it can be combined with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to Dusk' in the ground or in large pots, with very little water. It also makes a very pretty flower for summer bouquets.

Planting and care
The 'Uptick Cream' coreopsis is an easy-to-grow plant that requires specific conditions for optimal growth. This plant doesn't like winter humidity or heavy soils and needs to be in full sun to flower well. It prefers light, fresh, porous soil that is consistently well-drained and slightly acidic, neutral, or chalky. By creating these ideal conditions, the plant will bloom longer and look healthier. To encourage reblooming, it is recommended to remove faded flowers regularly. Doing this in July can also help promote autumn reblooming. This will extend the life of the plant. Finally, divide tired shrubs every three years to rejuvenate them.

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.
