    My plant has produced flowers of a more pink shade rather than the red shade shown in the grower's photo, but it's a pretty threadleaf coreopsis, which has bloomed heavily for months despite 100° heat and drought.

    It is possible that the vendor sent me the wrong plant, or maybe the color has been bleached by the unrelenting hot sun and drought that we've had all summer.
