Coreopsis Sweet Dreams

The magenta pink eye bleeds into the white of the petal, blurring the two into pink. The colour is intense and eye catching. The flowers open in their masses from summer to autumn. Elegant and striking.

The leaves are fern or thread like, and mid green. It grows to form a mound.

Grow Coreopsis in moderately fertile to humus rich soil. The soil needs to be well drained. Plant where it will receive six hours of sun a day (full sun). Cut the spent flower stems back and fertilise after the initial flush and you should be rewarded with a repeat bloom. Heat and dry tolerant once established.

In cool climate areas it should be treated as an annual. You can try dry mulching to protect them, or save some seed. You should also hold off planting the tube in the garden until the threat of frost has passed. Pot it on in a larger pot until this time.

Coreopsis 'Sweet Dreams' looks fabulous planted towards the front of beds and borders or in containers.
