Rose Coreopsis is a rare to endangered native of the Eastern U.S. The fine-leaved yet dense foliage is covered with numerous small pink flowers with yellow centers in mid-summer.

This profuse and lengthy bloomer can be cut back in late summer to promote new early Autumn flowers. An excellent ground cover or mounding border plant, Rose Coreopsis spreads easily and forms attractive patches.

It prefers full sun to very light partial shade.  Full sun guarantees the most blooms.  This species does have high water needs and the soil should remain consistently moist or wet.

It performs best in sandy, gritty or rocky soils that are slightly acidic.  Avoid heavy clay soils or poorly drained conditions.

Shearing the dense mounds back by half in late summer can help prevent the stems from matting, clean up its appearance, and stimulate a robust autumn rebloom.

Host plant for several Lepidoptera species including the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly and the Wavy-Lined Emerald Moth.
