Coreopsis: Bright, Low-Maintenance Sunshine for Your Garden
Coreopsis, commonly known as tickseed, is a versatile perennial that brings long-lasting color and easy-care charm to any landscape. With radiant blooms that range from sunny yellows to buttery golds, Coreopsis lights up borders, meadows, and containers from spring through summer and often into fall. Its naturally compact, mounded forms make it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned gardeners seeking a reliable, low-maintenance plant that rewards care with abundant blossoms.
One of Coreopsis’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, proving surprisingly drought-tolerant once established. This resilience makes Coreopsis a smart option for hot, water-conscious climates, as it requires minimal ongoing attention. Gardeners appreciate its long bloom period and the way it pops against greens and blues in the landscape. Many varieties also attract butterflies, adding life and movement to any outdoor space.
Coreopsis is not only beautiful but also versatile in design. Use it as a cheerful edge along walkways, plant it in mass for a vibrant bed, or pair it with blue salvias and wispy grasses to create a striking color contrast. Its upright or semi-compact growth habit blends well with other perennials, annuals, and ornamental grasses, offering flexibility for creative garden layouts. Additionally, Coreopsis generally requires little pruning—deadhead spent flowers to encourage a second flush of blooms, and you’ll enjoy continuous color with minimal effort.
