Coreopsis

Coreopsis is a cheerful perennial that brings long-lasting colour from June through September. Its bright, daisy-like flowers and airy foliage create a lively display with minimal fuss, making it an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners.

At J. Parker’s, we offer a range of garden-ready Coreopsis plants to suit different styles and spaces. From the Twinklebells Collection and the creamy whites and deep purples of the Star Cluster series, these hardy perennials are ideal for borders, containers or mixed plantings.

Where to plant Coreopsis

Coreopsis thrives in sunny or partially sunny, well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered spot in wetter locations. Raised beds or large containers work well where drainage is limited. This perennial suits cottage-style plantings, wildlife-friendly gardens, patios, or any area needing a splash of summer colour.

Companion plants for Coreopsis

We recommend pairing Coreopsis with other sun-loving, summer-flowering perennials. Salvia adds vertical structure, Echinacea attracts pollinators, and Achillea provides soft, airy contrast. These companions share similar growing conditions and create vibrant, naturalistic displays.

Growing Coreopsis

Plant in spring or early autumn while soil is warm, and water well until established. Coreopsis is drought-tolerant once settled, making it low-maintenance. Deadhead spent flowers to extend bloom time, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour. In autumn, cut back or leave seedheads for wildlife, and tidy in early spring to prepare for the new season.
