About
Coreopsis rosea 'Heaven's Gate' PBR is a perennial that grows in clumps and spreads through rhizomes, creating a dense, low mound of delicate, fern-like leaves. From mid-summer through autumn, it produces branched stems that showcase numerous flowerheads, each reaching up to 4 cm across. The flowers feature pink ray florets with deeper reddish-purple bases encircling a yellow central disc.
