COREOPSIS GRANDIFLORA 'EARLY SUNRISE'

Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise' is yet another yellow flower in my garden, adding a dash of sunshine no matter what the weather.  It has flowered a little later than Coreopsis 'Sunray' which I mentioned in an early post. 






Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise'

The label says that it has an outstanding colour and will encourage birds and butterflies into your garden.  It has double golden yellow daisy-like flowers above bushy and leafy-stemmed clumps of bright green narrow foliage.  It is suitable for borders in sun on well drained woils and is good for cutting.  It flowers early to late summer and achieves a height of approximately 60cm (24in) and spread of 45cm (18in).
