Coreopsis (Coreopsis Grandiflora Early Sunrise) - Start Coreopsis seeds in spring for blooms the first season! Early Sunrise is such an excellent performer that it won the AAS Gold Medal. It has a proven record of glorious blooms lasting for a long season. It is known for blooming earlier than other varieties of Coreopsis, and it has large 2 inch double golden yellow blooms.
1989 AAS Winner - Attractive, compact, uniform plants grow about 18 inches high with a 15-inch spread. Foliage is glossy, green and healthy looking. The charming semi-double flowers, about 2 inches across, are bright gold – and so intense they capture the eye even at a distance. Most stems are about 8 to 10 inches long, providing a wealth of long-lasting flowers for informal bouquets. After a dazzling profusion of blooms in late spring, Early Sunrise Coreopsis continues producing flowers through most of the summer, especially rewarding gardeners who take the trouble to pick off the spent blooms. With ordinary care, including a light application of fertilizer in spring, Early Sunrise will thrive for many years. Early Sunrise is also the recipient of the Fleuroselect Gold Medal award for performance in European trials.
