The delicate thread-leaf foliage of 'Big Bang™ Polaris Coreopsis' sets the stage for large snowy white flowers with a golden center. Blooming non-stop from summer through fall, it attracts butterflies and bees, as well as seed-eating songbirds, while being of no interest to rabbits and deer. This drought-tolerant native cultivar can be used for cut flowers and will gently spread when happy.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
'Big Bang™ Polaris' Coreopsis is an easy-care garden workhorse bread for larger flowers that practically does it all. Drought tolerant once established, this hardy native plant will grow to 20-24" tall and gently spread to 15-18" wide. In addition to supporting butterflies and bees, Coreopsis attracts sparrows, chickadees, finches, and other seed-eating birds to the seeds that form throughout the season. With its ability to spread, Coreopsis a great meadow or wildscape choice. Simply pull unwanted sprouts to keep things tidy, or pot some up for friends. Plant it in average soil with good drainage in a sunny location. Plant with other summer bloomers such as Echinacea, Penstemon, Salvia, and Agastache for a colorful, easy-care pollinator garden.
