Shades of Rose Coreopsis is a tidy perennial native that forms an airy mound of deep green thread-like foliage.  The sterile, delicate pink daisy-like with darker rosy tips and yellow centers will bloom throughout summer if deadheaded.  Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained soil.  Drought, humidity, and road salt tolerance.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance. Can be an aggressive self-seeder- deadhead in spring to encourage extended bloom and prevent spreading.  Crown rot may occur in moist, poorly-drained soils.  Foliage decline may occur in hot summers if the soil is allowed to dry out.  Snails and slugs can be a problem.

 LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, Foundational Plantings.
