Abstract

The present Coreopsis verticillata cultivar was created by the gamma-ray mutagenesis of the ‘Crème Brulée’ cultivar. An upright outwardly spreading mounding growth habit is displayed as well as a freely basal branching habit. Lacy bright green foliage is formed. Attractive, smaller daisy-type inflorescences are formed. The plant further can be distinguished by an observation of its less elongated terracotta-colored ray florets. The plant displays a propensity to freely flower for an extended period of time. The plant can be grown to advantage as attractive ornamentation in parks, gardens, and residential settings.
