Features of Threadleaf Coreopsis

Body

Yellow flowers on rounded plants with fine, feathery foliage. Excellent plant for almost continuous summer flowering. Long living perennial. Can spread by underground rhizomes. Drought tolerant.

Care

  • Prefers well-drained soils in a sun location.
  • Cut back after their first flush of flowers for an autumn flush of flowers.
  • Don't over-fertilize as it leads to soft, floppy plants.
