Coreopsis ‘Burgundy Bliss’

Common Name:
Tickseed

Description:
Coreopsis ‘Burgundy Bliss’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial prized for its rich burgundy to deep wine-coloured daisy-like blooms that bring bold colour to garden beds and containers. This variety forms a tidy, mounding clump of fine foliage and produces a generous display of flowers held above the foliage for an extended season. In Melbourne’s climate, it performs best in a full sun position with well-drained soil, though it will tolerate light shade. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and easy to maintain, making it suitable for low-maintenance gardens. Flowering typically begins in spring and continues through summer and autumn, often extending into early winter if regularly deadheaded. Its long flowering period and nectar-rich blooms make it particularly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Coreopsis ‘Burgundy Bliss’ works beautifully in cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, pollinator gardens and decorative pots, where its vibrant colour and compact habit provide lasting seasonal interest.
