Description
Coreopsis 'Fool's Gold' is a very pretty variety, delicate and contrasting. It brightens up the garden with its countless simple daisy-like flowers in cream white, with a black eye surrounded by a lemon yellow halo. The flowers bloom from May until the first frost on a clump of stems adorned with fine dark green leaves. This hardy and understated perennial appreciates a sunny exposure, ideal for sunny slopes, raised beds, or any location with light and well-drained soil. Perfect in a pot, it also makes an excellent cut flower.
Coreopsis 'Fool's Gold' belongs to the Asteraceae family. Its wild ancestor, the Whorled Coreopsis, is native to the plains of Central America, Mexico, and the southeastern United States. 'Fool's Gold' is a compact cultivar selected for its exceptional flowering duration. This rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with a woody base has a spreading, branching, tufted habit, with a flexible and airy appearance. It reaches about 40 cm in height with a spread of 40 cm. Flowering begins in May and continues until the first frost. The 3.5 cm diameter head flowers bloom from round buds and are arranged in whorls of 3 along the thin stems. The dark green foliage is composed of 6 cm long leaves, finely divided into linear leaflets. The plant slowly spreads through an intermingling of thin, non-running rhizomes. The foliage is deciduous, absent in winter.
Coreopsis 'Fool's Gold' is a simple and charming perennial, with multiple uses. Ideal in a rockery or on a poor slope, it pairs perfectly with wallflowers, Damask nigellas, and wild flax. In an herbaceous border, it harmonises well with lavenders or snapdragons. In a pot or container, this plant blooms abundantly from the first year. For a flowery summer, in the ground or a large pot, with very little watering, it can be associated with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to Dusk'. In addition to brightening up the garden, it is an excellent cut flower to liven up the home.

Planting and care
The perennial Coreopsis 'Fool's Gold' hates winter moisture and heavy soils. These plants require full sun, even scorching, to flower well. They prefer moist to dry, light, porous, gravelly or sandy soil, always very well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, slightly chalky, even if poor. They will also adapt well in humus-bearing and damp soil, provided that the drainage is perfect. In such conditions, they flower and live long. To promote reblooming, remove faded flowers, especially at the end of August.

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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
