description for "Coreopsis: Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'"
'Moonbean' thread-leaf coreopsis produces blooms of light butter yellow. Thread-like leaves of deep green. Deserves a place in every garden. Longest flowering of all verticillata types. 'Moonbeam' is most appealing in terms of flower color. There are many species of Coreopsis, several of which have garden value, and some that are almost indispensable. All have daisy-like flowers. They are easy to place, requiring only a sunny spot with average garden soil. All are very heavy bloomers and cut well. Give the thread-leaf types a hard shearing to promote rebloom. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
