Massive quantities of fruity orangey-rose flowers are good enough to drink. Blooms all summer over a mound of rich green foliage and wonderful addition to the mixed border or in containers and Easy to grow.
Coreopsis ‘Rum Punch’ is a lovely new hybrid in an unusual shade which looks as if it will have a place both in containers and borders. The fine, dark green, thread-like foliage is topped by a very long succession of single flowers in an unusual shade of watermelon. An unusual feature is that the colour does change as the flowers and plant age, which makes this plant so much more interesting. Coreopsis ‘Rum Punch’ needs plenty of sunshine, adequate moisture during the summer but good drainage in winter.
