Uptick^™ Gold & Bronze Tickseed Coreopsis hybrid

Planted 4 of these mid to late summer last year in a full sun location. The plants bloomed profusely and were gorgeous. This spring, nothing. Thought maybe they were slow to start in the spring but finally now in early June I know they are not returning. Very disappointed. Won't risk purchasing again at $15.99 per gallon pot.

I planted this during an exceptionally hot May in Albuquerque, NM, and it adapted easily to its new location. It is on the north side of my house in a location that receives 6-7 hours of hot sun during the summer. The soil is a mix of sand and clay, and I mixed in 50% cotton burr compost in the hole I dug for this plant to improve drainage. Produces cheerful flowers constantly with deadheading, does not wilt if you forget to water it for a few days, and should winter well in zone 7. A very sturdy, colorful little plant! Highly recommended.
