Coreopsis ‘Little Penny’

Common Name:
Tickseed

Description:
Coreopsis ‘Little Penny’ is a compact, mounding perennial grown for its masses of small, daisy-shaped flowers in warm copper to bronze tones. It is a long-flowering variety that performs beautifully in Melbourne gardens, producing colour from spring through to autumn and often into early winter in mild conditions. Its neat habit makes it especially useful for borders, edging, cottage-style plantings and decorative pots. Best grown in full sun in moist but well-drained soil, it is easy care once established and benefits from trimming back after a heavy flush of flowers to encourage repeat blooming. The fine green foliage stays tidy and fresh with regular deadheading, while the blooms are highly attractive to pollinators, making it a reliable choice for gardens needing long-lasting seasonal colour in a smaller space.
