Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb', commonly known as Threadleaf Coreopsis 'Zagreb', is a vibrant and hardy perennial that is highly valued for its bright, long-lasting flowers and finely textured foliage. This cultivar is particularly noted for its abundant, golden-yellow, daisy-like blooms that appear from early summer through to autumn, providing a cheerful splash of colour in the garden. The flowers are held on slender stems above a mound of delicate, fern-like leaves that are a rich green, creating a lovely contrast with the bright blooms.
'Zagreb' typically grows to a height of 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) and spreads to about 30-60 cm (12-24 inches), forming a neat, compact habit that works well in borders, rock gardens, and as a mass planting. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a sunny position, although it can tolerate light shade. Hardy in H5 zones, Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb' is well-suited to the UK’s temperate climate and is known for its drought tolerance once established. This plant is low-maintenance, requiring little more than occasional deadheading to encourage continuous blooming. It is also resistant to most pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Additionally, the bright flowers are attractive to pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to its ornamental appeal. 'Zagreb' is an excellent choice for bringing colour and texture to borders, containers, and wildflower gardens.
