Coreopsis丨The luxuriant flowers may be planted by humans, and the green water in the distance is smoky.
Coreopsis is now a general term for plants in the genus Coreopsis, which includes six species: Coreopsis grandiflora, Coreopsis sword-leaved, Coreopsis verticillata. Coreopsis is an introduced species native to American grasslands and woodlands, favored by plant breeders for its robust habit and rich flowers. There are more than 100 different species, although not all are perennials.
When I visited the National Garden Fair in July, I saw a lot of coreopsis in the park, especially the "Terra Nova" display garden in the horticultural town. A large number of coreopsis of different colors and varieties were used to form a spiral color ribbon. It looked plump and colorful, full of the texture of oil painting. The inspiration of the Terra Nova display garden came from the work "Starry Night" by Impressionist painter Van Gogh!
Interested friends can take this article to the Expo and see how many varieties they can find.
Today's article has some scientific meaning. I want to let you know that Coreopsis is not only yellow, but also colorful.
This hardy hybrid begins blooming in late spring, reaching 24" tall with strawberry-colored centers and butter-colored petals; the flowers form a medium-height canopy of color that changes as the season progresses. Cooler temperatures in the fall color the flowers strawberry pink. Pruning in August will cause them to bloom again; continued flower production and vigorous growth make 'Autumn Red' destined to become one of America's gardeners' favorites.
This is the first hardy coreopsis to have this flower color. It is more compact than 'Red Shift'.
Tolerating heat and humidity, it is ideal for planting in the front of a sunny border, or in a mixed container. Plants bloom best in a sunny location. A real breakthrough of color is achieved.

Perennial herb, light-loving, plant height 20-23 inches, leaves mostly opposite, linear, flowers solitary, ligulate flowers pink, rose-red, showy.
Annual, 6-12" (15-30cm) tall. Peak flowering mid-June to early September. Bright, feathery gold foliage creates a backdrop for clear magenta flowers that bloom from late spring to fall. Drought tolerant, blooms until just before frost. Small, compact habit, forms a nice low clumping plant, perfect for edging borders, and also works well in group plantings!
Some plants were cut back in mid-July of the second year to see if this would extend the flowering period and rejuvenate the plants. The results were not satisfactory. A second flowering reached 60% coverage in late August. In the second year of the trial, resistance to powdery mildew increased significantly. In general, powdery mildew was not prevalent in 2013, but 'Cherry Lemonade' was relatively weak in terms of resistance to powdery mildew. A plus for this variety, and for the entire Lemonade series, is that its bright yellow-brown foliage adds ornamental appeal for several weeks even before flowering.

The plant is 5" tall and forms a cushiony mound with dark green leaves covered with small, deep cherry red flowers with overlapping petals. A perfect habit! Performs well in a sunny location.




The plant is 8 inches tall, compact, and low; it has cranberry-colored flowers with white edges.
Coreopsis 'Creme Brulee'
Originally discovered in Lois Woodhull's Long Island garden, this new hybrid was developed from Coreopsis grandiflora and Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'.
This is a very long flowering perennial, 45-55cm tall, with neat dark green, linear clumps of leaves, bearing large, buttery, bright flowers. Each petal has a delicate notch at the tip, and these lively, long-blooming flowers not only cover the foliage, but also line the sturdy stems beneath the flowers. Prune the plant in August to encourage re-flowering. Ideal for planting at the front of a sunny border, or growing in mixed containers. Tolerates heat and humidity. Plants flower best in a sunny position. Flowers are larger and the flower colour is a darker shade than the older selection 'Moonlight'. Flowers from Bressingham®.
To enjoy a range of colour and texture in the landscape, plant with Verbena 'Flush of White' and Osmanthus fragrans 'Sapphire Blue', Osmanthus fragrans 'Abbey Road', Phlox 'Barthirtythree', Astilbe 'Beauty of Lisse' and Agapanthus 'ATIBLu'.


Coreopsis has always been a popular choice for perennial gardens, but this new range is a breakthrough. The Uptick™ range features a neat, mounding habit, impressively large bi-coloured flowers and good mildew resistance. A hardy grower that flowers from May to September.

Coreopsis lanceolata L. is a perennial herb with spindle-shaped roots.
Native to North America, it is drought-resistant, waterlogged-resistant, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, and barren-resistant, and has strong adaptability, and is often cultivated in gardens around the country. The whole plant can be used as medicine, with the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and lowering blood pressure; the flower is a water-soluble pigment, which can be extracted to produce a water-soluble yellow pigment with good coloring properties, which is used to color beverages and other foods.
In 1951, Professor Lu Difei of Huazhong Agricultural University discovered this kind of chrysanthemum while guiding students in field practice in Lushan. The flowers are large and colorful, and they are everywhere in the mountains. He checked many books at that time but there was no relevant record. Chen Fenghuai, the old director of Lushan Botanical Garden, told him that this was a seed brought by missionaries from North America and reproduced on its own. After 40 years, sword-leaf coreopsis is now widely distributed throughout the country. Sword-leaf coreopsis is an alien plant with strong growth and reproduction ability. It competes with forests for land and reduces soil fertility. Wherever this plant grows, other plants cannot grow. It is characterized by land occupation and harm. Therefore, agriculture and forestry classify sword-leaf coreopsis as a pest. In areas where sword-leaf coreopsis is more distributed, it is also called "overlord flower" locally, because it almost occupies the living space of other grasses and plants, affecting the diversity of plants.

Perennial herb, light-loving, well-drained, heat-tolerant and humidity-tolerant, these golden cup-shaped flowers are hard to take seriously, they are always so cute, inviting people to play the childhood game of "Do you like butter?"

Its low maintenance cost, excellent drought resistance, and long-blooming flowers allow it to fully display its advantages in sunny gardens. Coreopsis is also very effective as a covering material for roof greening.
Now it has been upgraded to a global tradition~ Come show off some beautiful pictures~!
First of all, of course, the beautiful Coreopsis stands alone~
2. You may doubt the compatibility of Coreopsis with other plants, but the following pictures will tell you what it means to be compatible with other plants!
Coreopsis 'Lightning Bug' planted with other plants
As we all know, many gardens abroad plant coreopsis and echinacea together, including many plants of the Lamiaceae family. I have to say, the effect is amazing!
3. After looking at the plant configuration, what about the planting form?
To see the effect of mixed planting, you really have to go to the Terra Nova display garden in the World Horticultural Exposition . It is so beautiful and huge!
So, cluster planting? Patches? Rows? Each form has its own unique beauty~
However, you will know after looking at the picture. The large-scale application of Coreopsis in China is still limited to a single fixed variety, the large-flowered yellow Coreopsis. Other varieties may not have been promoted due to various reasons such as adaptability, resistance, and cost. However, I still look forward to seeing more colors appear.
