The girl's eye (Coreopsis) is one of the daisy family and is an annual or perennial perennial with a particularly long flowering period in late summer. If the right location is chosen for the girl's eye, also known as the beautiful face, it provides color accents in the perennial bed with relatively little care.
Which location is suitable for the girl's eye?
The ideal location for the girl's eye (Coreopsis) is sunny and warm, with at least half the day in direct sunlight. The plant copes well with drought and prefers humus-rich, nutrient-rich soils without waterlogging.

The girl's eye also copes well with full sun in the garden, but it should receive direct sunlight for at least half the day. Since the plants can cope well with temporary drought, they are also suitable for greening and coloring problem areas such as sandy slopes, provided there is a sufficiently humus soil layer with enough nutrients. As a bed border in the cottage garden, the girl's eye is a colorful alternative to evergreen plants such as boxwood and privet.
The culture of pretty faces in the pot
Since the girl's eye does not tolerate waterlogging well at all, when cultured in a bucket, the liquid drainage should be ensured using the following utensils:
- Pot with drainage holes
- crushed pottery shards
- Garden fleece
The pottery shards from broken plant pots are first placed in the plant pot with drainage holes. The fleece is placed over this to prevent the spaces in the pot from becoming blocked with the substrate.
Tip
Depending on the soil conditions, the girl's eye should also be watered during long dry periods in summer. However, with a layer of mulch you can improve the soil's ability to retain liquid, so you only need to water less often.
