Coreopsis is a clump forming type of perennial (and sometimes grown as an annual). Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise' produces semi-double, deep yellow flowers that flush to orange-yellow near the center. This perennial flowers from late spring to mid summer and generally stops flowering when the intense summer heat hits. If you provide some afternoon shade, in the hottest part of the day, it will help to extend the flowering period into the hotter months. In cooler climates it will continue blooming through Septemer. This plant flowers best in full sun, however, providing some afternoon shade (the hottest part of the day) may help to extend the flowering period into the hotter months. Prefers lean or sandy, well-drained garden soils. A native to the southern United States, it will attract butterflies to your garden, and also makes an excellent cut flower.
