A beautiful, hardy variety, richly coloured and very floriferous. It will look just as good in a rock garden as in a bed or even in a flower pot.

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.
