About the Coreopsis -
Moonbeam :
The Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’, Coreopsis verticillata,
is the most popular perennial in its family.
‘Moonbeam’ was named Perennial of the Year in 1995
and one can see why. With its clusters of light
yellow, daisy-like blooms and its green airy
fernlike foliage, ‘Moonbeam’ Coreopsis blooms from
June through October and is mildew resistant.
‘Moonbeam’ stands at 24” and has a plant spread of
18-24”. ‘Moonbeam’ should be planted in full sun.
It is drought-tolerant and tough but does need
well-drained soil. It should be cut backing early
and late summer to extend the bloom period.
Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’ looks great with Coreopsis
‘Sweet Dreams’, and with any type of grass, in
borders or mass plantings in sunny gardens. No
garden should be without it.
