Variety traits

Coreopsis plant height

Coreopsis L.

Plant height is a key genetically determined varietal trait of Coreopsis, measured from the soil level to the tips of the flower stalks during the mass flowering phase.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Tickseed, where this is mentioned in the description.

The trait varies from dwarf forms of 25–30 cm to tall specimens reaching 80–120 cm. Low-growing values are characteristic of Coreopsis tinctoria and Coreopsis verticillata species, whereas medium and high values are typical for Coreopsis lanceolata, Coreopsis grandiflora, and other forms.

Plant height is closely related to agronomic practices: an excess of nitrogen fertilizers and a lack of sunlight cause stem elongation, inducing the plant to sprawl and reducing its decorative stability. Compliance with lighting conditions and nutrient control are essential for maintaining the plant's architecture.
