The lanceolate slope coreopsis lanceolata grows in clumps, reaching a height of 25 to 40 cm. The whorl of coreopsis verticillata is distinguished by fine, needle-like leaves and ranges from 25 to 80 cm in height.
The large-flowered slope of C. Grandiflora has a similar height, but this one has much wider lanceolate leaves. The highest of the slopes is c. Tripteris, distinguished by shoots up to 2 m.Due to the size of the perennials, they are prone to fractures, therefore they should be staked.
The brilliant yellow iris slopes are lanceolate, as are the large-flowered and lanceolate slopes.In the latter, depending on the variety, they are sometimes jagged to a different extent, a red or brown circular spot may be visible inside the leaf.
Full-flowered forms are also available.All varieties bloom from June to October.Large-flowered slope is especially recommended for cut flowers.
Slopes prefer positions in full sun and do not impose excessive demands on the quality of the ground.Optimal development conditions are provided by fertile, sandy loam soil.
We should regularly remove faded flowers from plants.After flowering, perennials are strongly pruned and fed with compost, so that they can rebuild the reserve of strength.The slope grows strongly; its expansive development can be stopped either by digging a plastic dam into the ground or by regularly splitting the root ball.
