Masses of delicate daisy-like flowers appear from early summer, each bloom creamy white with a soft yellow flush and a bold black centre for striking contrast. Held above finely cut green foliage on wiry stems, the flowers create a light, airy effect that blends well with other perennials.
Coreopsis ‘Fool’s Gold’ is a hardy, clump-forming perennial that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. This easy-to-grow tickseed is ideal for borders, prairie schemes, wildlife-friendly gardens, or naturalistic plantings, where its blooms attract bees and butterflies.
With its graceful habit and reliable performance, it offers a fresh alternative to traditional yellow cultivated varieties. Low maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it delivers both resilience and ornamental value in a wide range of garden settings.

Pot tickseed up into containers with a good quality general-purpose compost, or into ground enriched with a backfill of compost or well-rotted manure, at the same depth it was growing previously.
Spread a thick 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf or garden compost around your newly planted perennial to protect the roots from frost, help to retain moisture around its roots and deter weeds from germinating.
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and water well during hot, dry spells. Cut the faded flower-stems back down to ground level in autumn and compost.
