Cruizin' Main Street Coreopsis

Coreopsis verticillata 'Main Street'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Delicate perennial. Fine-textured foliage and airy thin petals. The summer-blooming flowers on this perennial feature red petals with pink edges and orange centers. The foliage forms an attractive mound of thread-like leaves.

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.
Special Considerations: This may be a short-lived perennial. Plan to replace periodically.
