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, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for the finest bloom production.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil enriched with organic matter to promote optimal growth.
• Watering: Ensure consistent moisture throughout the growing season to support robust flowering and maintain the plant’s compact habit.
• 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.
