Soft yellow blooms cover the compact mounds of bright green, threadleaf foliage from early to late summer. Similar to 'Moonbeam' but is more prolific, producing larger flowers and displaying improved mildew resistance. Cutting back by one-third to one-half (not just deadheading) after its first flush of flowers will extend the bloom period into fall.
'Creme Brulee' grows in dry to medium moisture, most soil conditions with good drainage, including sandy or rocky. It is tolerant of humidity, heat and drought. Plants may be cut back hard in summer if foliage sprawls or becomes unkempt.
Coreopsis is easy to grow, making it a good choice for beginners. One plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long. Plants in the genus Coreopsis are sometimes called tickseed as seeds resemble ticks.
Excellent as a border plant, in containers or for cut flowers, in mass plantings, specimen or focal point. When grown in borders or other formal garden areas, division may be needed every 2 to 3 years. Attracts butterflies and Deer resistant. |
