Coreopsis grandiflora
Cottage Garden Plant. Attracts Bees, Butterflies, and Birds. Bright yellow flowers with burgundy centers bloom for weeks in summer.
Sunbright Coreopsis is a compact, mounding perennial with a lengthy blooming period. It features dark green foliage and blooms that rise above the foliage. This plant reaches a height and width of 12" to 18". The pale yellow blooms adorn the plant from early summer until early fall. Pruning in August encourages a more abundant re-blooming in the fall. Sunbright Coreopsis thrives in full sun and can be used in various settings such as borders, cottage gardens, moon gardens, mass plantings, containers, naturalized areas, or rock gardens. This versatile plant is a magnet for butterflies and makes a lovely cut flower. Drought tolerant once established and resistant to deer, Sunbright Coreopsis is also a Firewise option.
