Notes
'Moonbeam' threadleaf coreopsis (Anacis verticillata 'Moonbeam') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It forms a clump and grows quickly, and it handles drought and salt. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Nodding onion, and Eastern columbine.
