1992 Perennial Plant Association Plant of the Year. Ever-popular and a classic perennial, C. 'Moonbeam' is an excellent performer with bright lemon-yellow flowers produced in profusion from early through late summer. The airy clumps of fine, needle-like foliage on upright stems add a nice fine texture element to the landscape.

Narrow, dark green leaves contrast well with flowers. Drought resistant. Slow to emerge in spring. Long blooming, and cutting back after flowering promotes reblooming.

Coreopsis is one of the easiest perennials to maintain and is a good choice for beginners. It compliments nearly every other plant in the garden. The verticillata species is particularly long-lived, has a longer flowering time, and demonstrates better drought tolerance than others in the genus.

Excellent, popular cultivar of uncertain origin, probably a hybrid of several species. Spreading habit. Floriferous, with a long flowering period. Benefits from winter mulch in cold climates.
