Coreopsis rosea

'Sweet Dreams'

 

Common Name:

Tickseed

Bloom color:

White w/Raspberry & yellow centers

Height:

18-24"

Bloom:

June through August

Hardiness:

Zone 4-9

Full Sun

Average but well-drained  

Why you need this plant:        This variety combines the profuse, long flowering time of Coreopsis with a creamy white color that boldens into a red eye.  Like all Coreopsis, 'Sweet Dreams' is a low maintenance perennial that loves the sun and will tolerate almost any soil condition.

 
Planting Info:       Deadheading throughout the season after the first year will encourage the maximum bloom.  Will do well anywhere with a moderate amount of sun and a well-drained soil.  In late August or early September, cut the flower stems down to the basal foliage, but leave the basal foliage intact.  This encourages late season vegetative growth, which will prepare the plant for winter and produce numerous blooms the next year.
