Coreopsis Moonbeam
Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’, commonly known as Threadleaf Coreopsis, is a beloved perennial that brings delicate beauty and long-lasting color to gardens. With its soft, lemon-yellow, daisy-like flowers, ‘Moonbeam’ blooms from June through October, providing continuous color throughout the summer and well into fall. The flowers are set against finely divided, bright green foliage that adds a soft, airy texture to garden beds. Â This variety typically grows to about 15-20 inches tall and is ideal for the front of borders or along pathways. ‘Moonbeam’ thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade and is hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9, ensuring good winter hardiness.

To keep ‘Moonbeam’ looking its best, occasional deadheading is recommended to encourage prolonged blooming. This easy-to-care-for plant also attracts bees and butterflies, adding lively movement and enhancing biodiversity in your garden.
