| My neighborhood is overrun by deer so desperate that they devour several plants they purportedly dislike. However, they have never even nibbled this one. That, plus its easy care, airy foliage, and summer-long blooms makes it a favorite! (Note: The deer ignore "ferny" varieties like moonbeam, but I have seen them eat "fleshier" coreopsis types with thicker stems/leaves.) | Ratings| overall | 10 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | n/a | | fragrance | 1 |

| Nora_in_Vancouver - 8b Wet Coast |  August 16, 2004 (Vancouver BC) | The "gold standard" of coreopsis. 1992 "Perennial Plant of the Year" means it will grow for just about everyone. | |

| This plant has taken alot of abuse and neglect it was ripped into and I planted both parts and they are just really tough and light and airy and pretty. I can sit in my front and back yards and watch then sway and dip in the breeze. | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 9 | | propagate | n/a | | fragrance | n/a |

| lady_fern - z6 IN |  Its ferny foliage is light and airy. | I love moonbeam coreopsis. It blooms spring to fall, with just occasional shearing back. You can dig up a plant in the spring, divide the root system into several pieces, and each one bushes out into a beautiful, full plant. The lemony yellow is so bright and cheerful and its mounded habit is neat and appealing. | Ratings| overall | 10 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | n/a |
