Like other members of the BIG BANG™ series, 'Star Cluster' is also the result of many years of intensive breeding work and the crossing of at least 8 species of Coreopsis by hybridizer Darrell Probst.
Delivering a terrific garden performance with little effort, this new variety blooms from early summer into early fall here in Michigan. A profusion of sterile, 1 ½ -2 ½”, creamy white flowers with a gold button center are produced atop a bushy clump of bright green foliage.
During the cooler months, a small, very deep purple eye appears on each flower. Gardeners lucky enough to still have blooms in late fall will notice a purple edge appearing on each petal too.
‘Star Cluster’ will bloom continuously without deadheading all summer long. However, a quick shearing periodically will keep it looking nice and tidy all season long.
Coreopsis is easy to grow, making it a good choice for beginners. One plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long.
