Set of 3 or 6 Coreopsis Uptick Red Hardy Perennial Plants, Bee Friendly Summer Flowering Tickseed, 1 Litre Root Ball

3 or 6 Coreopsis Uptick Red Hardy Perennial Plants, Bee Friendly Summer Flowering Tickseed, 1 Litre Root Ball

Bring vibrant, long-lasting colour to your garden with this set of three Coreopsis grandiflora 'Uptick Red' plants. Part of the acclaimed Uptick series, this striking Tickseed variety produces an abundance of large, daisy-like blooms featuring deep crimson-red centres that radiate outward into rich golden-yellow petal tips. The bold bicolour flowers appear throughout summer and into early autumn, creating a dazzling display in borders, cottage gardens, and patio containers alike.

Coreopsis 'Uptick Red' forms a neat, compact mound of fine, mid-green foliage that is smothered in blooms during the flowering season. As a reliable hardy perennial, it will return year after year, rewarding you with increasingly generous displays. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, making this an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, this variety thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established, making it a resilient addition to any garden. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage a prolonged flowering period throughout the season.
