Coreopsis UpTick 'Yellow & Red'
Choose UpTick Yellow & Red Coreopsis for large gold daisies with a red-ringed center on a compact, weather-tough plant that blooms from early summer to frost; the tradeoff is that it wants full sun and sharp drainage, and it is hardy to about zone 5, so it is not a plant for soggy ground or a cold, wet winter site.
Buy This If
- You want months of bold bicolor bloom.
- Your bed runs hot, sunny, and well drained.
- You want a low-fuss, deer-resistant perennial.
Skip This If
- Your soil stays wet, especially in winter.
- The site is shaded.
- You want a plant that carries winter structure.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The large red-centered gold flowers read from across the yard and cover the plant heavily. |
| Bloom Length | A | Early summer to frost, which is a longer run than most perennials in this size class. |
| Maintenance | A- | Deadheading is optional; cut it back late and avoid overwatering. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass coreopsis by, though no plant is immune under heavy pressure. |
| Small Space Fit | A | It holds a compact mound around 14-16 inches, so it edges beds and fills containers without flopping. |
| Winter Hardiness | B | Zone 5 — it comes through our winters given good drainage, but wet winter feet will kill it. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we use UpTick Yellow & Red where a sunny bed or container recipe has to look good for months with almost no attention. The one thing that decides whether it comes back is drainage — plant it high and lean, and skip the spots that hold water over winter.

Customers Usually Ask
How long does it bloom?
Early summer right through to frost; an occasional deadheading keeps it tidy but is not required.
Is it hardy here?
Zone 5 with good drainage. Avoid low spots where it will sit in wet ground over winter.
Do pollinators use it?
Yes; bees and butterflies work the flowers all season.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
