Creme Brulee Coreopsis

Coreopsis verticillata 'Crembru'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Yellow flowered perennial with fine-textured foliage. This cultivar is being marketed as an improvement on Moonbeam Coreopsis due to larger yellow flowers, more compact form, and mildew resistance. However, it tends to be short-lived. Tolerates a variety of soil types and conditions including drought. Will spread by rhizomes. Shearing back in August may promote late-fall blooming.

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.
