But the variety of garden plants is constantly growing. And along with the usual rather high coreopsis lanceolate and grandiflora in recent years in the gardens begin to appear numerous hybrids to. Whorled. These plants are distinguished by unusually thin, feathery foliage, adorning low, spherical bushes, entirely covered with small, sunny 3 flowers - 3,5 cm in diameter.

    Coreopsis verticillata is a perennial for the garden without hassle. It is more durable than large-flowered. Flowering lasts from mid-summer for about 70 days. After the peduncles are cut off, the old bushes are planted (every 4-6 years), otherwise the plantings thicken so much that the root system turns into a dense ball with practically no earth. As a result, the shoots grow short, and the flowers become smaller.

    The place for it needs a sunny or light shade. The soil is better fertile, sufficiently moist, with good drainage. The heavier and more nutritious the soil, the less resilient the plant will be. Waterlogging in winter and early spring K. verticulata does not tolerate. In summer, in dry weather, he needs watering. It is also responsive to top dressing before flowering with full mineral fertilizer.
    Species forms and tall varieties (50-100 cm) can be used as a background for lower neighbors. Looks spectacular in a group planting on the lawn, next to mock-mushrooms and spireas, only you need to plant a flower on the south side of them. Low-growing varieties (30-40 cm) are good in the border and in groups in the foreground, suitable for planting in containers and balcony boxes with a depth of 20 cm. Geraniums, veronica, armeria and irises are suitable partners for them.

    To please yourself with spectacular flower arrangements in the garden, plant perennials, for example, coreopsis, in flowerpots, in addition to annuals. Recognized container specimens - COREPOSIS whorled and undersized varieties COREPOSIS large-flowered. The bushes tolerate planting in containers well even in a flowering state, with a clod of earth. In contrast to the content of coreopsis in the open field, when they are fed with a complex mineral fertilizer for flowering species once a month, the frequency of feeding can be increased up to 2 times a week. And you will have to water more often.

    Last year, planted coreopsis, and this summer could not admire their flowering - did not come out after winter. A friend said that it was because of the soil. Is it so?

      - For all coreopsis, it is important that the soil is fertile, light, drained, slightly acidic (pH 5,5-6,5). Despite the winter hardiness, on a heavy, dense, and even more so with stagnant moisture, plants fall out. When planting in a well-lit place in suitable soil, they bloom for a long time (up to 80 days) and winter without shelter (cut off the aerial part). For certain species, there are some nuances: K. large-flowered requires moderately fertile land; K. pink also does not like excessively fertilized soils, on which it loses compactness and blooms worse.

      In the first year of life, coreopsis are fed once a month with complex mineral fertilizer for flowering species. From the second, it is enough to add compost under the bushes in the spring. They also bring it after the first wave of flowering (in late July-early August), when faded inflorescences are cut off in order to get buds again by the end of summer. An exception is K. large-flowered, for which such pruning can result in a decrease in winter hardiness and death. It is pruned, but not immediately after flowering.
      Coreopsis is drought tolerant, but in the heat they need to be watered. The most demanding moisture K. large-flowered. Young plants need regular watering for the full formation of the root system. Later they are watered once a week, making sure that the soil remains moist at a depth of at least 2-2,5 cm.
