Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'
Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’ is easy to grow and has interesting, needle-like foliage covered in pale yellow flowers for much of the summer. It forms an open mound 18” tall and spreads by rhizomes to about 24” wide. It is adaptable to many soil types, with the only requirement being that the site is well drained. Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’ grows well in full sun or light shade, is pest free, and butterflies love it. Pruning after flowering will encourage further blooming. The primrose-yellow, daisy-like flowers look fabulous with Echinacea purpurea.
