Coreopsis ‘Incredible’

Coreopsis x hybrida

Characteristics

Culture

Coreopsis ‘Incredible’ grows easily in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Thrives in poor, sandy or rocky soils with good drainage. Tolerant of heat, humidity and drought. Prompt deadheading of spent flower stalks can be tedious for a large planting, but does tend to encourage additional bloom and prevent any unwanted self-seeding. Coreopsis ‘Incredible’ plants may be sheared in mid to late summer to promote a fall rebloom and to remove any sprawling or unkempt foliage. Species plants can spread somewhat aggressively in the garden by both rhizomes and self-seeding.

Noteworthy Characteristics

These carefree Coreopsis ‘Incredible’ plants are literally covered with blossoms from early summer through frost! The cheerful blossoms dance above airy foliage in a mix of soft cream, maroon, yellow, and red shades: a true tapestry of color. Plants are deer resistant, vigorous, and can handle hot, dry conditions. The bright blossoms are magnets for hungry bees, butterflies and many other pollinators. Perfect to light up the garden and pick often for dazzling, long-lasting bouquets. Coreopsis are deer resistant and blossoms provide ample food and nectar for butterflies, bees and many other pollinators. After bloom is over, their seed heads provide nutritious food for hungry songbirds

Problems

No serious insect or disease problems. Tends to sprawl, particularly if grown in moist and/or fertile soils. Crown rot may occur if grown in moist, poorly drained soils.

Garden Uses

Blossoms provide ample food and nectar for butterflies, bees and many other pollinators. After bloom is over, their seed heads provide nutritious food for hungry songbirds.  Borders. Also effective in naturalized areas, native plant gardens or cottage gardens. Good plant for areas with poor, dry soils.
