This is an easy and beautiful plant. Mine has been blooming none stop after being in the ground for two weeks. It loves full sun and doesn't need much water. My neighbor comments me on it every time she is over!

I put in 4 Early Sunrise along a border and was really happy with the spread and floral display. They make a beautiful round high mound of flowers. They do need daily upkeep to deadhead and flies are attracted to them. After two seasons, all four did not come back this year. I found on one site the note that coreopsis tend to live 3-4 seasons, but only after I replaced them with four more. That's disappointing. Any other experiences with short life span?

Beautiful when tall and covered in lots of blooms and buds in May. Here in zone 8a/7b (North Texas), they seem to like part sun very well. Mine is getting 4 or 5 hours of morning sun and thrives. I have had it in the ground a year and fertilized it lightly once with fish meal, once with alfalfa meal this spring, but that is all. It is in barely amended black alkaline clay and very happy. The leaves are evergreen with a pretty, flat, maybe 6 inch clump of leaves when not flowering. It stays that way until early spring when the stalks start growing and it gets about 24 inches tall when flowering.

DO NOT FERTILIZE Coreopis. They are very easily burned. I used Miracle Grow on mine and many of the new buds are turning brown before they flower. They have been flowering profusely since mid June. They dont seem to be very good cut flowers.

These are a perennial in zones 4-9. They need full sun and well drained soil that is fertile and somewhat moist. They produce 1-1 1/2" yellow to orange, single to double flowers on top of 1-2' stems. The foliage is a deep green. They bloom from early to late summer and may bloom in fall if deadheaded.
