Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Threadleaf coreopsis are a dainty but tough perennial, with bright green, needle-like leaves that form dense rounded mounds of foliage about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide (or wider). Flowers are pale yellow to golden, depending on the variety, and appear in profusion just above the foliage. Blooms from late spring well into summer and sometimes to frost. Use anywhere a cheery yellow flower would be welcomed; it has a tidy appearance that lends itself to cottage, commercial, or formal landscapes.
