Mayfield Giant a goner?

I planted a Mayfield Giant Coreopsis last spring. It grew very well and bloomed it's head off all summer long. I did deadhead it too.
It's planted in a bed on the north side of my house but gets sun almost all day long especially in summer.

I left it up all winter and then cut back this spring to about 6 to 8 inches (the dried up stalks, just so I would know where it was).

It hasn't shown up a peep yet. Should I be worried? I don't want to plant anything else there yet if it has a chance to appear yet.

I have a coreopsis that is almost ready to bloom, but I believe it is moonbeam. I think we are in a similar zone. On the other hand, I planted some type of coreopsis in the yard in the front of the landscape two years in a row, and neither one of them made it thru the winter, even the year we had the mild winter. Give it some time, I still have plants that have not emerged. I am hoping they come back.
