Description

The Coreopsis Gold & Bronze from the Uptick series, with its large bright flowers resembling bicoloured daisies, possesses all the qualities that have earned this new hybrid series multiple awards. This excellent perennial stands out for its particularly large flowers, generous and prolonged flowering, good disease resistance, and compact and vigorous growth habit. It thrives in the sun, in cool and well-drained soil, both in borders and in pots. Its flowers, perfect for bouquets, are also highly visited by garden bees.

 

The Coreopsis 'Uptick Gold & Bronze' belongs to the Asteraceae family. This herbaceous perennial plant with rhizomes quickly forms a shrub 20 cm (8in) tall, with a diameter of 30 cm (12in), that does not need staking. Flowering occurs from June to September or even longer. The flowers, organised in heads, measuring up to 7 cm (3in) in diameter, are solitary and borne on slightly hairy stems that rise to 30-35 cm (12-14in) from the ground, just above the foliage. The outer ligules, or petals, have a bronze to purple base and a golden-yellow tip. They surround a central disc of yellow-orange colour. 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 Gold & Bronze' coreopsis is a sun-loving plant that is easy to grow, but it is sensitive to winter humidity and heavy soils. This versatile perennial will thrive in flower pots and look stunning in a slightly raised bed or on a slope. It can be combined in a herbaceous border with wallflowers, poppies, blue or purple perennial salvias and bellflowers. This plant blooms continuously, starting from the first year. For a beautiful flowering summer display, it can be paired with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to dusk' in the ground or in a large pot with very little water. It is also a beautiful flower for summer bouquets.

Planting and care

The 'Uptick Gold & Bronze' coreopsis is an easy-to-grow plant, but it is sensitive to winter humidity and heavy soils. This plant requires full sun to flower well. It prefers light and fresh soil, porous, always well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, and slightly chalky. Under such conditions, these plants bloom and live longer. To promote reblooming, it is preferable to remove faded flowers regularly and then in July to promote autumnal reblooming, which will also extend the plant's life. Refresh exhausted shrubs by dividing them approximately every 3 years.
