Coreopsis 'Uptick Gold & Bronze'
Choose Uptick Gold & Bronze when you want a compact Proven Winners tickseed that earns its spot all season. The big bicolor blooms are hard to miss — sunny gold petals ringed with a bronze-red center — and they keep coming from early summer right up to frost. It's tough, sun-loving, drought-tolerant once established, and deer tend to leave it alone. The honest tradeoff: it wants full sun and sharp drainage to thrive, and it's hardy to about zone 5, so it's not the pick for soggy ground or deep shade.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
I couldn’t be present when the tree was planted. I was very happy with the tree. It was planted correctly and at the proper height. As an arborist I see trees improperly planted frequently. Thank you!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
