About this plant

'UpTick Gold' Coreopsis is a standout perennial celebrated for its prolific and enduring display of bright, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers with a striking red eye. Blooming from late spring through fall, this compact variety provides exceptional color and is a fantastic choice for borders, containers, or mass plantings. This cultivar is a hybrid selection specifically bred for its extended bloom time and tidy, mounding habit, ensuring a consistently attractive display without becoming leggy. Its cheerful blossoms are held above attractive green foliage, creating a dynamic visual contrast. Beyond its beauty, 'UpTick Gold' is incredibly low-maintenance once established, tolerating a range of soil conditions and proving to be exceptionally disease and pest resistant. It's a reliable performer that brings joy to any garden space with minimal effort.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Minimal care is needed once established. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more blooms, though not strictly necessary. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in spring to maintain vigor.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
