This tender selection of Coreopsis flowers freely from summer through fall.

Best treated as an annual in all but the mildest winter regions. Excellent for edging the border, but especially superb in tubs or mixed containers. Tolerates heat and humidity. Attractive to butterflies. Trim plants back by half in late July to promote repeat blooming. From Blooms of Bressingham®. USPP#15455, CPBR#1597: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
