Description
Pale lemon daisies floating above threadlike green foliage give Coreopsis verticillata Moonbeam a light, open texture. The rounded clump grows about 1.5 to 2 feet tall and wide and flowers through summer and fall. It supports pollinators and provides useful cutting stems without looking heavy.
Full sun produces sturdy growth and the longest bloom. Water during long dry periods, let well-drained soil dry slightly, and avoid rich feeding. Deadhead through summer and cut stems to the ground in late fall. Divide clumps in spring or fall. Slugs may damage fresh shoots.
