The detail
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.
