Coreopsis
Tickseed
The Coreopsis we offer are perennials. They share some characteristics with their annual cousins: they are dependable, easy to work with, and make a quick impact. Though they often play a supporting role, Coreopsis are performers you’ll remember when the show’s over, for foliage as much as for stellar flowers.
A year-round delight, ‘Moonbeam’ emerges in spring as an almost mossy green mat; finely cut leaves evolve into fluffy foliage that supports billows of pale yellow-green star bursts. This unusual chartreuse complements almost any other color, though our favorite combination is Penstemon ‘Alice Hindley’ or Miscanthus ‘Rigoletto’. After its long show, the rust-tinted seed heads remain through fall. Utilized as a ground cover in the rock garden or a border—sturdy ‘Moonbeam’ does it all.
