| Botanical Name | Coreopsis 'Uptick Bronze' |
| Description | A high-performance perennial for Willis and Houston landscapes, 'Uptick Bronze' is prized for its tidy, mounded habit and exceptionally large flowers. The blooms feature a striking bronze-red center that bleeds into golden-yellow tips, providing a warm color palette from spring through late summer. It handles the Texas heat and humidity with ease, making it a reliable choice for sunny borders. To ensure it thrives in local clay, plant in a raised bed or a well-drained spot; this Coreopsis loves the sun but requires good drainage to stay healthy during heavy Southeast Texas rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for the best bloom production and a compact shape) |
| Height x Width | 12-14 in. Tall x 12-14 in. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot during wet periods. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 (Reliable perennial for the Houston metro area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to more foliage and fewer flowers. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Cut back by half in late summer if the plant begins to look "tired" to stimulate a fresh flush of fall growth and flowers. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
