Tickseed / Coreopsis 'Early Sunrise'
Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise' is a cheerful, long-blooming perennial known for its bright golden-yellow, semi-double flowers that resemble small sunbursts. Blooming from early summer into late summer—and often longer with deadheading—it provides continuous color in borders, cottage gardens, and containers. This compact, clump-forming tickseed thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Its nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, making it both a vibrant and wildlife-friendly addition to the garden.
