Zagreb Coreopsis

Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Nice medium growth rate, long blooming, low maintenance plant. Delicate flowers cover the plant the entire summer. Better resistance to powdery mildew than other coreopsis. A good choice for the Wasatch Front as it comes out of dormancy earlier.

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.
