Coreopsis, Uptick, Red - Trio

The Uptick series of Coreopsis is a tickseed titan ready to ignite your Indiana Zone 6a garden with fiery flair— no matches required! These perennials demand full sun, basking in 6+ hours of rays daily-shade's for shrinking violets, and these babies are bold. They hit a compact 12-14 inches tall and wide, forming neat mounds that won't flop around like a bad hair day. Blooming from early summer through fall, they pump out flowers like a bloom factory on a caffeine high-deadhead them, and they'll keep the fireworks popping.

Gardeners, get excited: the Uptick series is drought tolerant once established, laughing off Indiana's dry streaks as long as the soil drains well (no swampy shenanigans here!). Pollinators—bees and butterflies-swarm them like it's a nectar free-for-all, while deer and rabbits give them the cold shoulder-perfect for a pest-free plot. Cold-hardy for Zone 6a and disease-resistant, they're low-maintenance legends that breeze through winter like it's no big deal.

Now, meet 'Red, the Uptick variety that's all about turning up the heat. Its deep red petals with subtle golden centers look like they've been dipped in a vat of cherry Kool-Aid —vibrant, sassy, and impossible to ignore. These oversized blooms steal the show in borders, pots, or vases, adding a punchy pop that screams "drama, darling!" With its long-lasting flowers and rugged charm, 'Red' is the feisty firecracker of Coreopsis-minimal effort, maximum wow. Plant it, and your garden will strut its stuff while your neighbors squint in awe, wondering if you've secretly enrolled in gardening boot camp!
