It is a reliable plant that can be counted on to liven up borders in summer.

This plant produces many bright yellow flowers with orange centres during July and August. The flowers keep coming and aren't affected by the heat. The plant has dark green, shiny leaves that are long and narrow and grow in a bunch at the bottom of the stem. The plant slowly spreads as it grows, using thin, non-trailing rhizomes.

Perennial coreopsis plants are sensitive to winter humidity and heavy soil. To thrive, these plants need full sun, even in hot conditions, and well-draining soil, such as gravel or sand. Coreopsis is easy to care for and requires little maintenance, making it a great addition to any garden. The Coreopsis lanceolata 'Goldfink' is a versatile small perennial plant that can be planted in a rockery, on a slope with wallflowers, damask flowers, and wild flax, or in an herbaceous border with Teucrium chamaedrys or x lucidrys, thyme, and cotton lavenders. For beautiful summer flowers, it can be combined with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to Dusk' in the ground or a large pot, with very little water needed. Lastly, the Coreopsis lanceolata 'Goldfink' is a lovely flower that can brighten up summer bouquets, bringing some sunshine into your home.
