Abstract

The present Coreopsis cultivar was created as an open-pollinated seedling of the ‘Zagreb’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). A dense low compact highly uniform rounded growth habit is displayed. The plant is highly branched. Attractive, large yellow daisy-type inflorescences are formed. The green foliage coloration contrasts nicely with the yellow blossoms. The plant displays a propensity to freely flower for an extended period of time, commonly from June to September. The plant can be grown to advantage as attractive ornamentation in parks, gardens, and residential settings.
