In the garden

Coreopsis grandiflora 'Badengold' is a perennial member of the Asteraceae that originates from parts of the United States, including Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Georgia. As a perennial, it renews its growth each year and offers a long flowering run in the UK between June and September. Position the plant in full sun and choose a site with well-drained soil; it prefers soil that stays moderately moist rather than waterlogged. Avoid heavy, poorly drained ground. Established plants respond well to a free-draining, sunny border or a gravelly bed where root wetness is limited. Water to maintain moderate moisture while the plant establishes, but reduce watering where soils remain saturated. In UK gardens place 'Badengold' towards the front to middle of mixed herbaceous borders, in sunny gravel areas or on the sunny edge of a lawn where its summer flowering can be seen. Its long flowering period makes it useful for planning summer colour sequences, so schedule adjacent plants to overlap or follow its June to September bloom span for continuous display.
