Description
Annual Coreopsis Corusco Cream-Red is a variety of Coreopsis tinctoria awarded with a gold medal and Approved Novelty by Fleuroselect for its unique colour combination, early flowering, and innovative character. It offers a multitude of small contrasting flowers with cream-white petals with a touch of deep red towards the centre. This very compact variety forms a rounded dome-shaped clump. It tolerates drought and blooms 12 weeks after sowing, with rare generosity. It is suitable for the front of wildflower beds, borders, and pots on the terrace and balcony.
Coreopsis tinctoria Corusco Gold is a plant from the asteraceae family originating from an annual botanical species native to North American prairies. This cultivar forms a beautiful bushy clump 20 cm in height (when in bloom) by 30 cm wide in just a few weeks. The delicate and airy flowers are single flower heads measuring 3 cm in diameter. They are borne in small groups at the top of slender stems and appear to float above light foliage composed of fine green leaves. The flowering is constant between June and October.
The compact habit of the hybrid Coreopsis Corusco Cream-Red is perfectly suited for border planting, mass planting, or in pots on the terrace. Plant them in full sun in light, well-drained soil. Pair them with rudbeckias, echinaceas and daylilies. Add the delicate flowers of Gaura lindheimeri and the foliage of small grasses like Stipa or Carex. Some taller plants like Verbena bonariensis dwarf 'Lollipop' aerate the ensemble. Also create drought-tolerant annual beds with Love-in-a-Mist Nigellas, Cosmos, Zinnias, Centaureas, California poppies. With good vase life, a few flowering stems of Coreopsis blend ideally with these other annuals to create stunning summer bouquets.
The ecological gesture:
Sowing Coreopsis in your garden will attract pollinating insects and other beneficial insects, enticed by the nectar scent of their flowers. This will improve the health of your garden ecosystem and promote better harvests in the vegetable garden and orchard.

Planting and care
Sow Coreopsis Corusco Cream-Red in February-March in a tray or pot. Use good quality soil, possibly enriched with compost. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or vermiculite, lightly tamp down and water copiously with a fine rain. Place your pots in the light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 20 to 25°C.
Seed germination will take 21 to 30 days. Once the plants have reached a height of 10 cm, transplant them into pots. 15 days before their final placement, start gradually acclimatising them to a temperature of 15°C.
By late May to early June, the temperature will be warm enough in the garden to plant out your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good shovelful of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 25 to 30 cm apart.
It is possible to sow Coreopsis directly in the garden, but you will need to wait until the risk of frost is over, around mid-May.
By removing faded flowers, you will promote their renewal and longevity.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
