Plant Features

Ruby Frost Coreopsis Plants offer a startling color breakthrough with the brilliant red corolla and its thin edge of creamy white frosting on the tips and sides of each petal. Each petal will be somewhat different from the one bordering it; some being more thoroughly "frosted" than others.

Our Coreopsis Plants are grown with care, ensuring they are free from harmful pesticides and safe for your garden and the environment. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

- Can be planted spring, summer, or fall

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
- Coreopsis thrives in poor to moderately fertile soils and does not require rich soil

Watering Specifics:

- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system
- Once established, Coreopsis is drought-tolerant and needs only occasional watering
- Avoid overwatering, as Coreopsis prefers dry to medium moisture levels

Fertilizer Type:

- Typically does not require fertilization; Coreopsis is a low-maintenance plant

Pruning and Training:

- Cut back plants by one-third in midsummer to promote a second bloom cycle
- Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding

Additional Pest Management:

- Generally pest-free

Blooming Indicators:

- Blooms from early summer to fall, providing a long season of color
- Flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators

Light Requirements:

- Can tolerate light shade, particularly in hotter climates, but flowering may be reduced

Temperature Tolerance:

- Tolerates heat and drought; performs best in well-drained soils

Companion Plants for Coreopsis:

- Salvia: Their spikes of blue or purple flowers complement Coreopsis' bright blooms
- Echinacea: Their sturdy, upright growth and colorful blooms make a striking combination with Coreopsis
- Gaillardia: Their warm, fiery tones enhance the yellow hues of Coreopsis
- Penstemon: Adds vertical interest with its spikes of tubular flowers
- Ornamental Grasses: Their fine texture adds movement and structure to a Coreopsis planting

Plant came in timely fashion. Didn't check the zone and found it is zone 6. I live in 5. May not make it through the winter. Plant in excellent condition.

Tickseed ticked in transport!

Most leaves were brown but in a few days looks like new growth is emerging. Roots were healthy. Hopefully it will survive and put up a show in the red and white 🌺 bed.

GrowJoy: Let us know if they don't pop out of it.

This was a replacement. I was allowed to choose my replacement plant since the other had sold out for a plant that did not do so well upon planting. As always it was well packaged, and shipped quickly. Thank you GrowJoy for your great customer service.
