Threadleaf Coreopsis
Coreopsis verticillata · Perennial
Threadleaf Coreopsis is a fast-growing perennial, hardy in USDA zones 3-9, that matures to about 2.5–3 ft × 1.5–2 ft. It does best in full sun with low water needs in well-drained, moist and occasionally-dry soil. Expect yellow blooms in summer and fall. It attracts bees, butterflies and pollinators, stands up well to deer, drought and dry soil and grows happily in containers.
