Description

Prairie Splendor delivers a stunning splash of vibrant yellow blooms that radiate a touch of red edging, lighting up the landscape from early to late summer. Its fine, textural foliage forms a tidy clump that remains compact and polished—ideal for Michigan’s cooler conditions. Although the fruit is not a significant aspect of this Coreopsis, its brilliant blossoms provide a fresh, inspiring accent that elevates any outdoor setting, whether used in borders or showcased in containers.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun for the finest bloom production.
• Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a healthy root system; once established, occasional watering during extended dry periods
• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature, keeping mulch slightly away from the crown for proper airflow.
• Pruning: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage a longer flowering period and keep the clump neat and polished.

Prairie Splendor adds a magnificent and refreshing burst of color to Michigan landscapes, offering a stunning, modern statement with its brilliant blossoms and textural foliage.
