    Carrie:

    I too live in nj and planted 2 moonbeam coreopsis last spring. They bloomed all summer and I did not prune them in the fall, just let them die. Then, I expected them to bloom this spring, but here it is April 20, 2009 and they look like a burned bush (no signs of life). I just looked today and it looks like one little seedling may be starting, away from the original clump. They are planted in a raised bed behind a retaining wall. So disappointed. And then I hear you cant kill yours!!! What did you say about 1st, 2nd and 3rd year?? Should I leave them in for another year, or just give up??

    Definitely wait and see! Mine has reseeded even though I've been digging it out. And thanks for reading, Sally. It may be sleeping.

    Can I safely prune off the dead branches at this point. It looks terrible and I want to plant something to hide them.

    Whatever is really dead, crumbly dead, yes, absolutely!
