Freely produced soft yellow flowers are a charming addition to your sunny garden. Coreopsis Moonbeam was honored by the Perennial Plant Association. Flowers appear singly on short stalks continuously blooming from early summer right into fall. The dainty, finely-cut foliage adds texture and an interesting contrast to surrounding perennials. They spread slowly but surely and can be used in a naturalized planting on a sunny bank or in the traditional border. Coreopsis is lovely paired with Echinacea or Campanula.

General Information:


Coreopsis verticillata form blankets of upward facing flowers over needle-y, thread-leafed soft textured foliage. Long blooming and easy to grow, they come in various heights and many shades of yellow, reds, pink, and white.

Plant Care:


Prefers a nice sunny well drained spot. Very easy to grow. Remove top one-third of plant with hedge shears after flowering to freshen foliage, if needed. Spreads reliably, so division every 2-3 years may be needed to restrain girth, but only if desired.
