Imperial Sun Coreopsis

Coreopsis verticillata 'Imperial Sun'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Profuse golden flowers bloom on this perennial in the summer over a mound of fine, green leaves. This variety is extra hardy and has a tidier habit than some other coreopsis.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
