Coreopsis ‘Rum Punch’

Common Name:
Tickseed 'Rum Punch'

Description:
Coreopsis 'Rum Punch' is a vibrant, compact perennial renowned for its profusion of coral-pink to deep orange-red daisy-like blooms that grace gardens from spring through to early winter. Its mounding habit and finely divided green foliage create a lush backdrop for the striking flowers, making it a standout in borders, containers, and cottage-style gardens. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Rum Punch' prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soils. Once established, it exhibits commendable drought tolerance, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. Regular deadheading and a light prune after the main flowering flush will encourage continuous blooming and maintain its tidy form. With its extended flowering season and resilience, 'Rum Punch' offers both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits by attracting pollinators to the garden.
