Coreopsis naturalize with ease and will attract lots of butterflies and birds to your garden. Cold hardy, floriferous and easy to grow. Early Sunrise Coreopsis Hardy Zones: 4-9, Mature Height: 16-24" Bigger, Earlier, and Longer-Lived--This Sunny Coreopsis Has it All! 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! Early Sunrise performs so exceptionally that it won the AAS Gold Medal. A single plant in your garden will show you why!
