Bigger, Earlier, and Longer-Lived--This Sunny Coreopsis Has it All!
Coreopsis Early Sunrise
Blooms from summer well into fall, sneering at heat and drought!
2-inch semi-double blooms on bushy plants! Winner of the coveted AAS Gold Medal!
What a show-off this Coreopsis is--not only does it bloom 3 weeks earlier than most others, but its blooms are enormous (a full 2 inches across), stuffed with brilliant golden petals surrounding a honey-brown eye, and crowded atop neat, compact 18-inch plants! You might think all this bloom power took some extra effort on your part, but no--Early Sunrise is just as easy as all others, springing up in the sunny garden in early summer and staying colorful till frost! It's even self-cleaning, so you don't have to deadhead!
Just a foot high, this is one tough little plant, laughing at the summer heat and drought that overtakes less hardy specimens. And it returns for many years, asking only well-drained soil in order to produce its very heavy bounty of sunny blooms! All Coreopsis are easy to start from seed, but Early Sunrise performs so exceptionally that it won the AAS Gold Medal. A single plant in your garden will show you why! Pkt is 50 seeds. Cannot ship to CN.
