It’s easy to see why coreopsis, and especially the ‘Moonbeam’ cultivar, won the Perennial Plant Association’s ‘Plant of the Year’ award in 1992 and why it remains one of the top ten best-selling perennials for gardeners in zones 3 to 9. With pretty daisy-like flat blossoms atop thread-like green leaves, this deciduous perennial grows to about 18 inches tall by 12 to 18 inches wide so planting it in the front of the bed is preferred.
The only maintenance required for this plant is to deadhead to keep the blooms coming all summer long. At the end of the growing season, simply cut it back to about 6 inches. Next spring your plant will start all over again!
