Coreopsis 'Rising Sun'

Coreopsis 'Rising Sun' is another Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner. Coreopsis 'Rising Sun' is unique in a couple of ways. First, it begins blooming weeks earlier than other varieties of Coreopsis. Then there's the flower itself. Coreopsis 'Rising Sun' has semi-double fringed golden flowers with a red dot at the base of each petal, giving it the name of 'Rising Sun'. The 2" flowers are relatively large for a Coreopsis.

The growth habit and ease of maintenance are still everything you'd expect from a Coreopsis. Zones: 3 - 9 Colors: Bright Yellow with Red Ring in Center Height: 18 - 24" Width: 15 - 18" Bloom Period: Mid-Summer - Fall Exposure: Full Sun Notes: Benefits from a shearing after the initial bloom fades.
