Two plants are now larger than the original and all are flowering in a nice group.<\/li>\n<li>My plants are flowering very well so I buying some more.<\/li>\n<li>Coreopsis, also called Calliopsis or Tickseed are great additions to my garden design of bright yellow and oranges that will bloom most of the summer. They fit in well with most plants and have a good compact habit.<\/li>\n<li>Coreopsis makes a neat 14 inch tall edging plant as well as nice cut flowers.<\/li>\n<li>Check the habit of the more exotic types as they may not be as compact or floriferous<\/li>\n<li>Coreopsis is attracting a lot of attention from breeders and will be a perennial plant to be reckoned with over the next few years.
