Full Moon Coreopsis
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking long-lasting, pollinator-friendly color.
These canary-yellow blooms offer a masterclass in low-maintenance color, flowering reliably from late spring through the first frost. While they lack the wild, sprawling habit of true natives, they trade that untamed look for a tidy, deer-resistant structure that thrives in containers and dry, sun-drenched corners.
