Add a long-season burst of soft color to your border with Coreopsis verticillata 'Designer Threads Creamy Calico'. This compact threadleaf coreopsis forms a tidy, mounded clump with fine, ferny foliage and a steady display of creamy yellow, daisy-like flowers accented by a darker eye through the summer months.

Place your plant in full sun for the heaviest bloom, but it will also perform well with part shade, especially where summers are hot. You will get the best growth in well-drained soil; once established, it handles periodic dryness and can succeed in lean or rocky ground without constant feeding. Water regularly during the first season to build a strong root system, then let the soil dry slightly between deep waterings.

For easy maintenance, shear back lightly after a flush of bloom to encourage fresh growth and more flowers. Deadheading is optional, but removing spent blooms can keep the plant looking crisp. Avoid heavy fertilizing, which can push leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Use this cultivar to edge a sunny bed, weave through a mixed perennial planting, or mass for a bright, finely textured drift that keeps going all season.
