Moonswirl Coreopsis

Coreopsis grandiflora 'Moonswirl'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: The semi-double flowers of this tickseed cultivar resemble marigolds, with layers of ruffly, yolk-yellow petals. This exceptionally long-blooming perennial will bring a pop of color even to hot, dry spots and will spread and naturalize under ideal conditions.

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.
