Coreopsis 'Bengal Tiger'

Coreopsis ‘Bengal Tiger’ is a Terra Nova selection with yellow flowers marked by clear red eyes and fine, feathery green foliage. [Terra Nova’s exact cultivar page](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coreopsis-bengal-tiger/) identifies PP25345 and EU41041, USDA zones 5–10, a 20-inch height and 24-inch width. [ThinkPlants’ perennial catalog](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/718985/) independently lists Bengal Tiger with Terra Nova as breeder and describes its bicolor flowers and compact garden habit. ## Flowers and habit The yellow petals and red centers give the flowers their tiger-eye appearance. This mounding perennial blooms from early summer into fall and is suited to mixed beds, borders, and containers. Its finely divided foliage keeps the plant visually light even when it is in full flower. ## Growing conditions Plant in full sun in average, well-drained soil. Terra Nova rates the selection for zones 5–10 and lists 20 inches of height by 24 inches wide. The live catalog’s numeric dimensions and labels are updated to match those exact breeder measurements; the scientific name and both patent/grant identifiers remain intact. ## Maintenance Water regularly as the plant establishes, then avoid persistently wet soil. Remove spent flowers if a tidier display is desired, and cut back dormant growth in late winter or early spring before new shoots emerge.
