Coreopsis 'Citrine'
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking season-long pollinator-friendly color.
This is the ultimate low-maintenance workhorse for sunny borders that refuses to quit blooming until the first frost. While it lacks the dramatic height of larger perennials, its compact, deer-resistant habit and relentless yellow color make it an essential filler for any garden needing consistent, season-long impact.
