It will grow 8 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 20 inches wide, and has a compact, mounding habit. Coreopsis 'Strawberry Lemonade' was developed by Terra Nova Nurseries as a dwarf variety in 2005 and given PP18299. It is also known as Strawberry Lemonade Hybrid tickseed. This plant is a fast grower and prefers average, well-drained, acidic soil in full sun. It tolerates poor soils and is drought-tolerant once established. It is winter hardy in zones 9-10. In North Carolina or other colder climates, it could be grown as an annual plant. The blooming period is about 4 weeks. Attracts pollinators. The flowers consist of rose-pink petal rays with a center of golden disc florets. The leaves are initially bright yellow and turn chartreuse later in the season.
