Bright and happy, 'Super Star' Coreopsis PPAF will light up your pollinator garden or sunny perennial beds with an exciting twist on an old favorite. Huge lemon-yellow flowers have a ring of deep red brushstrokes, surrounding a fuzzy golden center. Held above grassy green lanceolate foliage, they'll create a low carpet of high-impact bloom from summer through fall. Deer resistant. (Coreopsis)
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).
(12-16" tall x 12"-16" wide) 'Super Star' Coreopsis PPAF is an exciting new coreopsis cultivar with large flowers (2½-3" wide) and a long bloom time. 'Super Star' is a super bloomer – large lemon-yellow and crimson-red flowers have a golden center and attract pollinators by the hundreds; but they are seldom damaged by deer. 'Super Star' is a great compact pick to use for groundcover, at the front of meadows or borders, on rocky hillsides, or along a pathway. Or, enjoy 'Super Star' as a perennial spark of color in your favorite sunny container garden. Shearing mid-season will promote new flushes of blooms from early summer through to fall. 'Super Star' certainly loves that heat, and should be planted in a sunny site with well-draining soil. This low-maintenance perennial been rated highly in independent plant trials. Like all Coreopsis, once it's established after a year of proper care, it is highly heat-and-drought-tolerant.
