Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb'
Clumps of needle-like foliage with prolific golden yellow flowers.
Threadleaf Coreopsis forms a spreading clump of very delicate, ferny foliage. This compact selection bears loads of starry golden-yellow daisies, from early summer into the fall. Clipping off faded flowers will encourage buds to form all season. Tolerant of hot, dry sites once established. Excellent for cutting. Great for edging in the sunny border, or planting in mixed containers. The species is native to the Eastern USA. Tolerates heat and humidity. Easily divided in early spring.
