The Designer Threads™ Scarlet Ribbons Coreopsis is easy to grow and mildew resistant for added convenience. This perennial is pollinator friendly and supports bees and butterflies.

Prune Coreopsis in early spring to encourage branching and a full form. Remove faded flowers to promote a long blooming season.
