With Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana', the flowerbed welcomes a plant whose flowers display shades of yellow. The foliage has nuances of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is June-July. The clump reaches approximately 20 cm in height with a spread of 60 cm; use these dimensions to place the plant at the low front edge of a bed.
In terms of cultivation, Coreopsis 'Nana' prefers full sun exposure; the recommended soil is well-drained garden soil, retaining moderate moisture during establishment. Support the rooting of Coreopsis 'Nana' with deep watering, then check the moisture before watering again. Adjust the frequency to rainfall and heat; avoid small daily applications on already moist soil. A spacing corresponding to its 60 cm spread prevents having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
The maintenance of Coreopsis 'Nana' mainly relies on observing the clump: remove spent flower heads if you wish to maintain a tidy bed and monitor moisture during establishment. Excessive fertility can unbalance the coreopsis clump; prioritize drainage and sufficient light. For associations, consider echinaceas, perennial geraniums, and campanulas in varieties with similar needs. The flowering period (June-July) and the spread of 60 cm will serve as benchmarks for arranging other plants around this one.
