Sometimes known as Threadleaf Coreopsis, this forms a spreading clump of very delicate, ferny foliage.

Great for mass planting in a sunny area and will even adapt to naturalized meadow plantings. This species is native to the Eastern USA. Tolerates heat and humidity. Easily divided in early spring. Discovered at Bauer’s Forever Flowers in northwestern Pennsylvania and introduced by ItSaul Plants of Georgia. Part of the Cruizin’ Series. USPP#20609: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
