Coreopsis verticillata 'Golden Showers'

Common Name: Threadleaf Coreopsis

One of the most loved perennials, C. 'Golden Showers' is an excellent performer with large, rich golden-yellow flowers appearing from early through late summer. This variety is exceptionally vigorous, forming upright, airy clumps of fine, needle-like foliage.


Coreopsis is one of the easiest perennials to maintain and is a good choice for beginners. It compliments nearly every other plant in the garden. The verticillata species is particularly long-lived, has a longer flowering time, and demonstrates better drought tolerance than others in the genus.
