Coreopsis 'Early Sunrise'
- With its radiant, sunny yellow blooms, appearing in ruffled, semi-double fashion, 'Early Sunrise' is a plant worthy of a place in any discerning cottage or Cotswolds garden.
- Set against a canvas of rich green foliage, the flowers appear in profusion over a long period, blooming from May all the way through to the first frosts in October.
- The slender flower stems stand proudly above the leaves and look excellent in a pot out on the patio.
- Easy to grow and simple as far as maintenance is concerned, this cheery customer is a plant that offers a lot while asking for very little in return. Just what we like to hear!
- This variety has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, which is conferred upon those plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
