Coreopsis

Coreopsis brings long-lasting color and charm to the garden, with bright, daisy-like blooms that appear from late spring through summer. Their petals, often golden yellow or softly brushed with red and orange tones, add light texture and contrast to borders and bouquets, offering continuous beauty, and warmth throughout the sunniest months of the season.

Coreopsis

How to Choose

Flower color: Golden yellow classics sit alongside cream, pink, red and bicolor selections.

Hardiness: Large-flowered threadleaf types are the most reliable perennials; some newer colors are shorter-lived.

Bloom length: With regular shearing, the best varieties flower from early summer into autumn.

Height and habit: Airy threadleaf forms weave through neighbors, while compact types stay neat at the front of a bed.
