Coreopsis Uptick Yellow and Red

Common Name:
Tickseed 'Uptick Yellow and Red'

Description:
Coreopsis 'Uptick Yellow and Red' is a compact, bushy perennial known for its vibrant, bi-coloured daisy-like flowers. Each bloom features sunny yellow petals with a striking burgundy-red centre, creating a bold contrast that adds visual interest to garden beds, borders, and containers. Flowering profusely from late spring through to autumn, this variety offers an extended season of colour. Its tidy, mounded habit and fine-textured green foliage make it an excellent choice for mass plantings or as a focal point in smaller garden spaces. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, 'Uptick Yellow and Red' is both heat and drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and its low-maintenance nature appeals to both novice and experienced gardeners. Additionally, the flowers attract pollinators, supporting local biodiversity.
