Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'
Threadleaf Coreopsis
Description
This popular perennial cultivar reaches 1.5' tall and 2' wide. This variety has soft, yellow creamy flowers with yellow centers, that bloom from spring through summer and even longer especially if deadheaded regularly. Fern-like foliage is evergreen and gives the plant an airy, delicate look. It should be planted in full sun and average soil and needs only occasional watering once it's established. This plant is good with the Campanula in the front of a border, and makes a lovely container and hanging basket plant. It tolerates wet soil and can be used in fire wise areas.
