Coreopsis ‘Full Moon’ PPAF

This showy new hybrid has very large, light yellow blossoms that measure up to 7 cm across! They are held on well-branched stems atop healthy green, medium textured foliage. Easy of care and very long blooming, it makes an impressive mound of colour from mid summer until frost. As a taller Coreopsis, C. ‘Full Moon’ is best sited towards the middle of the border rather than the front.

Once established, it is rather drought tolerant, although sufficient moisture will help maintain the attractive foliage all season.Cut stems back after the first flush of flowers fade to promote a repeat bloom.
