The Coreopsis ΅Early Sunrise¦, Coreopsis grandiflora, is a definite superstar among yellow flowers. This All-American Selections Gold Metal Award Winner has yellow flowers flush to orange-yellow near the center and bloom June through October. In the Tickseed family, the dark green thread leaf foliage makes a great contrast with the flower color. It should be cut backing early and late summer to extend the bloom period. Coreopsis ΅Early Sunrise¦ looks great with any type of grass, in borders or mass plantings in sunny gardens.
