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).
