Coreopsis UpTick™ Gold and Bronze PP#28882

Plant name: Coreopsis UpTick™ Gold and Bronze PP#28882

Scientific name: Coreopsis hybrid ‘Baluptgonz’ PP#28882

Plant description:
Coreopsis UpTick™ Gold and Bronze is a compact, long-blooming tickseed cultivar selected for strong branching, uniform growth, and consistent flowering. This herbaceous perennial forms a dense, mounded plant with a refined texture that fits well in borders, containers, and mass plantings. Its tidy habit and steady color make it a reliable choice for season-long landscape performance.

Flower description:
Flowers are daisy-like with rich golden-yellow petals surrounding a deep bronze to red central eye. Blooms appear continuously through the warm growing season, creating a strong color contrast that remains consistent even as temperatures rise. The flowers attract pollinators and hold their color well without fading quickly.

Leaf description:
Foliage is fine-textured and medium green, forming a soft mound beneath the flowers. Leaves are narrow and slightly lobed, providing a delicate backdrop that highlights the bold bloom colors while maintaining a clean, compact appearance.

Deciduous or evergreen:
Herbaceous perennial that goes dormant in colder climates and resumes growth with seasonal warmth.

USDA grow zones:
USDA Zones 5–9.

Mature height and width:
Approximately 10–12 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide, forming a low, rounded mound.

Landscape uses:
Suitable for edging, mixed perennial beds, pollinator gardens, and patio containers. Its compact size works well in small-space plantings, mass displays, and color-focused combinations. The continuous bloom habit makes it useful for adding reliable color along walkways or in seasonal displays.

Native range:
Coreopsis species are native to North America; this cultivar is a horticultural hybrid developed for ornamental use.

Sun exposure:
Performs best in full sun, where strong light encourages dense growth and heavy flowering. Light shade may be tolerated but can reduce bloom production and plant compactness.

Water requirements:
Prefers well-drained soil with moderate watering. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods but flowers best when soil moisture remains consistent without becoming overly wet.

Pests and problems:
Generally low maintenance with good resistance to common pests. Occasional issues may include aphids or mildew in humid conditions or where airflow is limited. Avoid heavy, poorly drained soils to reduce the risk of root problems.

Heat and sun tolerance: Cold tolerance:
Shows strong heat tolerance and maintains bloom color during warm weather. Cold hardy within its recommended zones, with foliage dying back after frost and regrowing in spring.

Growing tips:
Plant in well-drained soil and provide ample spacing to maintain airflow. Light trimming after heavy bloom flushes encourages additional flowering and keeps the plant compact. Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to soft growth and fewer blooms. Position toward the front of beds or in containers where the gold and bronze flowers can provide consistent seasonal color.
