Bought a coreopsis to replace Mac and Cheese!

16 years ago

I bought Rising Sun coreopsis to replace that dog Mac and Cheese. It's a nice bright yellow also, but at least is more hardy and will actually grow I believe! Mac and Cheese your days are numbered! I put the RS in a protected spot until I can plant, because it was bought at my local nursery, and this nursery is all greenhouse grown. So, Mac and Cheese has only days left to show me some significant growth or it's outta here (and we know that won't happen lol)!

I pulled my Mac n Cheese up and flung it across the yard. That is the most pitiful Echinacea I have ever seen. There are so many of that cultivar that fail. It's just a total flop. I replaced it with Coreopsis too.

That's a nice one! Is it well-behaved, or do they tout it as a "Cutting" flower? (ie: it flops all over the place uncontrollably)

We'll see. I just looked around my local nursery (was actually looking for moonbeam) and spotted this one. I had never heard of that particular one, and thought "What the heck" I might as well try it and see how it does! It has the color I want more than moonbeam too.

Mac and Cheese is HISTORY now! He got tossed into trash heaven! Good riddance I say lol. The coreopsis is planted in his place.
