Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'
Also known as Threadleaf Coreopsis, Whorled Tickseed, Whorled Coreopsis
Coreopsis verticillata, thread leaf or whorled coreopsis, is a rhizomatous perennial growing in dense, bushy clumps to 1-3' tall. It has yellow, daisy-like flowers with yellow untoothed rays and yellow center disks. It blooms profusely and is lengthy in loose clusters (cymes) from late spring to summer. A mid-summer shearing will promote reblooming in the fall. A plant with palmately 3-parted leaves and thread-like segments appears fine-textured and airy.
'Moonbeam' is more compact and features pale yellow, daisy-like flowers with untoothed rays and darker yellow center disks—1992 Perennial Plant of the Year award.
A well-drained, dry to medium moisture soil with full sun is ideal for its growth. It grows well in poor, sandy, or rocky soils with good drainage. Tolerant of heat, humidity, and drought. Prompt deadheading of spent flower stalks can be tedious for an extensive planting but tends to encourage additional bloom and prevent unwanted self-seeding. Plants may be sheared in mid to late summer to promote a fall rebloom and to remove any sprawling or unkempt foliage. Species plants can spread aggressively in the garden through rhizomes and self-seeding.
Although species' plants freely self-seed, 'Moonbeam' is a sterile cultivar. Plants can spread aggressively in the garden by rhizomes.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
