Tickseed 'Sunray', Sunray Tickseed
Very floriferous, Coreopsis grandiflora ‘Sunray’ (Tickseed) is a compact perennial forming a mound of brilliant, deep golden-yellow, double flowers. Blooming from late spring to late summer, the charming blossoms are borne on upright stems atop the finely divided foliage of dark green leaves. Removing spent flowers regularly will encourage blooming to continue into the fall. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity, this Coreopsis is perfect for the sunny border or container and makes excellent cut flowers. Plant in drifts for great impact and make sure you have enough for the vase!
