Coreopsis 'Jive'

oh that is gorgeous . is this new

It's fantastic, very pretty

Really love this. Just beautiful.

Oh, that's nice :)
I've not seen this one before, i love Coreopsis.
My favourites are the pink ones but this is most definately added to that list.

These are new - to me and to the world of Coreopsis, lol.

They were bred specially, and are meant to be hardy. I don't know about that yet, of course.

lovely colours...

THis is lovely............

I simply love this...:¬)

So Jazzy, love it!

Now that is something to Jive about, gorgeous!!!I love there simplicity.

oohhh this is very nice Spritz. bet this would look good in your new border.

One guess where I've planted them! LOL.

This is beautiful, the flower really jumps out of the picture.
My guess, in your new bed.

You win the prize, Docbob! :-) X

A red lollipop please.

Sorry, the prize was ...the 'X'...I'm out of lollipops!

OK, I'll take it.

:-)

huuuurrrmmm excuse me. i said would look good in new bed first....think i should win first place lol......and i bet it looks fantasic.

You can have a prize as well, Angie - 'X' - there you are!! lol.

They are the right colour, yes, but they were such disappointing weedy plugs that they don't look fantastic! They need to fill out a LOT. If they are hardy, fine. Next year they might look good.

are they fully hardy though Spritz?...not sure on that you know, you could try pinching out all the top shoots?

The only reason that I think they may be hardier than most, is that I read an article on the breeder and what he has achieved by crossing C. vercillicata with others to produce new, hardier strains. I'll have to cover the crowns with mulch, I expect, but I got a collection of these new Coreopsis, so I'm hoping that they DO survive! One is called 'Cumbia' I think. They are still in the intensive care ward. NOT a good set of plants!

If I pinched them out any more, Angie, they would look like little sticks! LOL.

well i think they are lovely... you could always try collecting some of the seed if they set?... i find always a good back up plan.
