Coreopsis 'Star Cluster' | Star Cluster Tickseed

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Coreopsis 'Star Cluster' is a long-blooming perennial that bursts into bloom from early summer through fall. Bred as part of the Big Bang series, this variety was developed to produce larger flowers and an extended blooming period. Its blossoms are creamy white, each petal edged with a thin, wine-colored margin that deepens as the season progresses.

A bright yellow center, rimmed with wine adds a splash of warmth, drawing the eye to the heart of each flower. As temperatures cool, the purple may become more pronounced. The plant’s fine, thread-like foliage provides a soft, airy texture that complements the bold flowers. This combination of delicate greenery and showy blooms creates a lively, colorful display well into autumn.
