We've had a long association with this lovely little coreopsis. In 1994 I bought a book called 'Bold romantic Gardens' by Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden where Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' featured in this horticultural masterpiece. Since this time we have always made room to grow this ever popular perennial. Bright star like lemon yellow flowers are held above airy clumps of fine-needle like foliage. It brings a fine textured contrast to the landscape. Unlike other Coreopsis it doesn't self-seed and is a long lived perennial. Perfect in a pot as well as in the ground amongst grasses and sedums. Approx. 40cm high x 40cm wide.
