Coreopsis grandiflora Presto Seeds - Tickseed

The dwarf, large-flowered tickseed 'Presto' is a perennial plant belonging to the group of Coreopsis grandiflora, which normally consists of medium to tall varieties (45 to 90 cm). This variety is the result of a long process of selection based on the size of the plant and the speed of the onset of flowering. The dwarf and compact habit of this variety (20 cm high) makes it suitable for flowerbed borders, rock gardens, containers on the terrace and window boxes on the balcony. Unlike most perennial varieties of Coreopsis, this variety flowers from the first year from seed.

It is also a perennial plant that is distinguished for the abundance and quality of its golden yellow flowers. The flowers, 6 cm across, are semi-double to double and repeat bloom from June to the end of August.

The dark green foliage forms a small compact mound of lanceolate leaves.

These exceptional attributes led to this plant being awarded the Fleuroselect Gold Medal in 2007.

In the garden, provide it with a sunny location and rich, well-drained soil.
