Coreopsis ‘Pink Lady’

Common Name:
Tickseed

Description:
Coreopsis ‘Pink Lady’ is a charming flowering perennial admired for its delicate pink daisy-like blooms with soft yellow centres that provide a light and cheerful display through the warmer months. This variety forms a neat, bushy mound of fine green foliage and produces a profusion of flowers held on slender stems above the foliage, creating a soft, airy appearance in the garden. In Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in a full sun position with well-drained soil and performs well in garden beds, borders, cottage-style plantings and decorative pots. Flowering typically begins in spring and continues through summer and autumn, especially when spent blooms are removed to encourage repeat flowering. ‘Pink Lady’ is a reliable and easy-care plant that tolerates heat and moderate dry periods once established. Its nectar-rich flowers are attractive to bees and beneficial pollinators, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly and low-maintenance gardens.
