Coreopsis ‘UpTick Gold & Bronze’ — Bicolor Tickseed

Description

Coreopsis ‘UpTick Gold & Bronze’ is a compact perennial with golden flowers and bronze-red centers. The bright two-tone blooms stand above a neat mound of green leaves.

This plant works well in sunny beds, borders, pollinator gardens, and pots. It gives strong color without taking up much space.

Sun and Soil

Plant it in full sun for the best bloom. Use soil that drains well. Once the roots are set, it can handle short dry spells. For a stronger red tone, see Coreopsis ‘UpTick Red’.

Water and Feeding

Water new plants as the roots get set. After that, water when the soil becomes dry. Feed lightly if growth is weak. Too much feed can lead to more leaves and fewer flowers.

Bloom Care

Remove old flowers if you want more bloom and a tidy look. Trim tired growth as needed. For a brighter yellow and red mix, see Coreopsis ‘UpTick Yellow & Red’.

Its warm flower color also pairs well with sunny perennials such as Hibiscus ‘French Vanilla’.
