Description
Campanulate Coreopsis 'Limerock Passion' is a must-have in every garden. It boasts a lengthy flowering period, blooming with magenta-pink star-shaped flowers from late spring to early summer. The plant exhibits vigorous growth, forming a stunning, slightly-spreading shrub with deep, dark green, thin leaves.
This hardy perennial can withstand tough conditions like droughts once it's established. It has a light habit and showy silhouette that can brighten up borders, rock gardens, or large pots. The Limerock Passion hybrid Coreopsis is a recent variety from the Asteraceae family, and it is a sport derived from the famous Limerock Ruby. It has been selected for its elegant head colour and long flowering period. This herbaceous perennial has a woody rootstock, spreading clump habit, and numerous upright stems. It can grow up to 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide. The flowers bloom from late May to autumn and have a lavender hue when fully open, then turn more pink with a golden yellow centre. They measure 3 cm in diameter and attract butterflies and bees. The foliage is very dark green, semi-evergreen, and composed of thin, linear leaves with two spurs at the base. Although sometimes prone to powdery mildew, it doesn't disfigure the plant covered in flowers. The plant slowly spreads with the help of a network of thin, non-running rhizomes.
The Campanulate Coreopsis Limerock Passion is a versatile perennial that can thrive in rock gardens, slopes with wallflowers, love-in-a-mist, and wild flax, herbaceous borders alongside Teucrium chamaedrys or x lucidrys, thyme, and cotton lavender. Its delicate and light foliage complements plants with stiffer foliage, such as daylilies, coneflowers, red hot pokers, or irises. This variety is the perfect companion for perennial plants, grasses, and ground-cover roses. It can be associated with shrubby salvias, panicle phlox, gauras, asters, knautias, clustered bellflowers, salvias, scabious, mountain centaureas, yarrows, the superb Leucanthemum Crazy Daisy, or Penstemon Le Phare. This plant can flower continuously from the first year in pots or containers. For a beautiful summer bloom, it can be paired with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to dusk' in the ground or large pots with very little water. It's also a lovely flower for summer bouquets, bringing a taste of sunshine indoors.

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.
