Moonbeam Coreopsis

Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Has graceful, airy, fern-like foliage with tiny light to lemon yellow daisy-like flowers and darker yellow centers. The blossoms begin in early summer and can last well into the fall. One of the most drought tolerant of its varieties. Great for perennial yards or for containers. Requires full sun and dry to medium-moist soils.

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.
