Description
The 'Bengal Tiger' Verticillate Coreopsis, also known as Verticillate Coreopsis, offers large, two-tone star-shaped flowers. The golden yellow petals are widely invaded by a central mahogany red area. They bloom from early summer until autumn, against a dark backdrop of delicate leaves. Its compact habit, well-defined silhouette, undemanding nature, and love for sunshine make it suitable for well-exposed slopes and challenging conditions. It is also a disease-resistant variety, remarkable in flower pots and bouquets.
The Verticillate Coreopsis belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to the plains of Central America, Mexico, and the southeastern United States. 'Bengal Tiger' is a recent cultivar selected for the brilliance of its large, two-tone flower heads and excellent resistance to mildew. This herbaceous perennial with a woody rootstock has a bushy, highly branched, compact habit. It reaches a height of 45 cm (18in) with a spread of 50 cm (20in). The flowering begins in June and continues until the first frosts. The pale yellow flowers, measuring 4 cm (2in) in diameter, open from rounded buds and are arranged in whorls of 3 along slender stems. The 8 outer ligules form a golden yellow and red collar surrounding a reddish-brown central disk. The dark green, deciduous foliage consists of 6 cm (2in) long leaves, finely divided into linear leaflets. The plant slowly spreads through a network of slender, non-trailing rhizomes.
The Verticillate Coreopsis is a versatile perennial. It will thrive in a rock garden, on a difficult slope with wallflowers, love-in-a-mist, and wild flax, or in a herbaceous border alongside Teucrium chamaedrys or x lucidrys, thyme, and cotton lavender. In pots or containers, this plant blooms continuously from the first year onwards. For a beautiful summer display, whether in the ground or in a large pot with minimal watering, it can be paired with Calamintha glandulosa and Nepeta 'Dawn to dusk'. Lastly, it makes a lovely addition to summer bouquets, like sunshine inside the house.

Planting and care
Perennial Coriopsides are plants that need a lot of sunlight to grow well and produce flowers. They prefer soil that is light, porous, and well-drained. The soil should be slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly chalky, even if it is poor. These plants can also grow well in soil that has a lot of humus, but the soil must drain well. They can live for a long time in these conditions and will flower again if you remove the old flowers, especially at the end of August. It's important to note that these plants are sensitive to winter humidity and heavy soils.

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.
