Product Description
'Zagreb' is a superb cultivar and one of the few winners of Mt. Cuba's Coreopsis trials! Here are the main reasons :
- it's the most popular and dependable perennials of all time
- the dense, spreading clumps of very fine, needle-like foliage are highly ornamental even when not in bloom
- dense ground-covering growth in full sun
- it's a long flowering perennial with bigger, golden-yellow flowers from early to late summer, making a great cut flower as a bonus!
- adaptable to many types of soil, including clay or shallow rocky soil, medium moisture or even drier soil. Sun or half sun are the best.
- long-lived plant, very tough and reliable performer
- attracts butterflies, bees, songbirds and is deer resistant
The parent species, Coreopsis verticillata, is native to the eastern U.S. 'Zagreb' was introduced in 1997 by the Department of Ornamental Plants and Landscape Architecture at the University of Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia. It received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 2001.
Shearing will prolong the flowering season. Good plant for areas with poor, dry soils. Highly valued by professional landscapers, hobby gardeners, and beginners too.
Excellent perennial for public and private gardens - borders, naturalized areas, native plant gardens, water-wise landscaping, deer resistant plantings, rock gardens, butterfly gardens or cottage gardens. Can be combined with many common perennials and wildflowers - it looks great with Asclepias tuberosa, Echinacea purpurea or Echinacea tennesseensis, grasses, Paeonia, Achillea millefolium, hardy Geraniums, etc.
