Description
A cheery and easy to grow North American native perennial, the Jethro Tull Coreopsis features abundant, intensely bright, golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with cool overlapping fluted petals surrounding nectar-rich centers that’ll have the butterflies flocking. A long bloomer from spring through summer when the flowers are deadheaded. The long-lasting flowers are also superb for cutting and use in floral arrangements where they’ll last for up to 2 weeks. Excellent for use in pots or situated near the front of your perennial garden. You might be happy to know that deer and rabbits turn their nose up to this plant, and it has good drought and heat tolerance when established. Cold hardy, heat hardy and floriferous, give this one plenty of sunshine and watch the show!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 15 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, the Jethro Tull Coreopsis is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and containers or in groupings at the front of the perennial border. A fine addition to butterfly and beneficial pollinator gardens, cut flower gardens, yellow them gardens, cottage gardens, sun gardens, and wildlife gardens. Â
Suggested Spacing:Â 18 inches for mass plantings; 30 inches or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Coreopsis is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. For best flowering and density of foliage we suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and morning sub for sure to dry the dew from the leaves. Good drought tolerance when established. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with bagged top soil or other organic matter to improve drainage. Deadheading spent flowers encourages new buds and extends the bloom period all the way through summer.
Plant Long & Prosper!
