    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A recent selection from Darrel Probst Big Bang series of Coreopsis, bred for hardiness and a long season of bloom. This pure white form is slightly different than Darrel's 'Star Custer' lacking the hints of red on the petals. 'Polaris'' blooms from early summer until fall. Plants in bloom are 18-4" tall.
