Moonbeam Coreopsis Plant

Moonbeam Coreopsis is a cheerful perennial that brightens any garden with its delicate, daisy-like yellow flowers and fine, fern-like foliage.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil to ensure the best growth. Dig a hole that’s twice the width of the root ball and place the plant gently inside, covering the roots with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to help establish roots. Though ‘Moonbeam’ is a sterile cultivar, it can spread through underground roots, so be sure to plant it in an area where it has room to spread out.

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the first season, water regularly to help the plant get established. Once established, it is exceptionally drought resistant and requires minimal watering.

3. Pruning: To encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance, lightly deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season. Alternatively, in mid-summer, shear the plant back by two-thirds to promote a strong fall rebloom.

4. Fertilizing: This plant doesn't require much fertilizer. A light application of an all-purpose fertilizer in early spring can help promote healthy growth.
