Coreopsis verticillata, commonly known as tickseed, is an easy-to-grow herbaceous perennial native to North America. In summer and autumn it produces bright yellow flowers that stand out against the finely dissected foliage.

Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’ is a particularly lovely cultivar, bearing pale yellow flowers with a darker centre, from June to September. Perfect for growing at the front of sunny borders or as part of a container display, it has a compact habit and feathery, fern-like foliage. The open flowers attract a range of pollinators including hoverflies and butterflies. It can be propagated by spring division or basal cuttings.

For best results, grow Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’ in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil, though it will perform better in full sun.
