Pink coreopsis (Coreopsis rosea) is a relatively rare perennial that can be found growing along damp, sandy, or peaty shores from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. We love it for its fine, thread-like, green foliage and cheery pink blooms. Notably, it is the only coreopsis with pink flowers. This rhizomatous perennial may spread aggressively in optimal conditions. Unlike other members of the genus, pink coreopsis is intolerant of drought and extreme heat. Zone: 3 to 8

Height: 12 to 24 in.
Spread: 18 to 30 in.

Nursery pick up

We will email you to schedule a day and time to collect your plants when they are ready in spring. Generally, plants can be collected from the nursery Monday through Sunday from 10am-4pm in Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Plant Sizes

We most commonly use the following pot sizes for perennials:

  • 4-inch pot: 3.5" H x 3.5" W x 3.5" D
  • 2-quart pot: 6" H x 5.25" W x 5.25" D
  • 1-gallon pot: 6.87" H x 8" Dia (this is a true one gallon pot, not the smaller 'trade' one gallon pot used by many nurseries)

Check out our illustrated pot size guide here.

Representative trees & shrubs are photographed in their pots and posted on each plant page.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at The Old Dairy. We grow all of our plants outdoors without the use of chemicals, fertilizers, carbon fuels, or peat.

Many of our perennials are grown in the ground and dug upon order (this is especially true for larger sizes). This practice allows us to grow stronger, healthier plants using native soil, and ultimately reduces our impact on the environment.

Our open-pollinated seeds are collected from plants in our mother beds, which have never been treated with chemicals or sprays of any kind.
