Coreopsis is one of my favorite perennials and some of these are blooming early here in the Northeast. One of the most popular from the Coreopsis family is “Moonbeam.” It looks a lot like Potentilla. I planted some last year but they returned to the home of their ancestors. I’ve had better luck with this variety and have found it to be one of the most reliable and can’t-kill plants known to modern man. Beautiful yellow flowers from a plant that can get as high as 2 feet. It loves any kind of soil. It attracts butterflies and, best of all, the deer won’t eat it. We live in heavy deer country and have put this plant in a variety of poor soils with positive results. You’ve got to plant this one. It’s not prissy and requires no work beyond planting and will return year after year.
