Incredibly floriferous, Coreopsis verticillata Creme Brulee (Threadleaf Coreopsis) is a vigorous, bushy perennial forming a spreading mound of very delicate, finely divided foliage. Loads of brilliant creamy daisies, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), are produced from early to late summer, adding bright color in the landscape. Easy to grow, and tolerant of heat and humidity, this Threadleaf Coreopsis is perfect for sunny perennial borders, mass plantings, or patio containers. As an added bonus, one plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long.

Coreopsis are a favorite of many gardeners thanks to the bright colors of their flowers and their ability to put up with most garden soils. There are over 100 species available and countless hybrids. Most of them are low maintenance, drought tolerant, and enjoy long blooming seasons. Workhorse perennials in the sunny borders, they make excellent cut flowers.
