Good enough to eat is our verdict on this new Coreopsis. Blooming from June all the away through October, 'Creme Brulee' bears custard-yellow, 2-inch, daisy-like blossoms on neat, mounded plants of lacy, bright green foliage.
Give this perennial full sun and a well-drained soil; once well rooted in, 'Creme Brulee' has outstanding drought resistance, yet is also resistant to the downy mildew that commonly plagues Coreopsis during cool wet weather. Cut back after the first flush of flowers fade to promote a heavier bloom. PP 16,096
