Monrovia Solanna Coreopsis
Best low maintenance perennial for sunny garden borders and containers.
This perennial is the ultimate low-lift solution for consistent, high-impact color. It thrives in the sweltering heat that wilts more delicate flowers, and its compact size makes it perfect for tight borders or containers. You sacrifice the sprawling wildness of traditional perennials for a tidy, pest-resistant plant that actually stays put.
