Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonray’ PPAF Common name: threadleaf Coreopsis. Zones 4 to 9. Full sun. Plants reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Growth rate: Moderate, Easy to grow.
‘Moonray’ PPAF produces masses of light creamy yellow blossoms atop airy clumps of fine, needle-like foliage. A sport of the ever-popular ‘Moonbeam’, plants bloom all summer long for three continuous months and are vigorous growers just like ‘Moonbeam’.
Coreopsis 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. The verticillata species is particularly long-lived, has a longer flowering time, and demonstrates better drought tolerance than others in the genus.
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.
