"The Coreopsis æEarly SunriseÆ, Coreopsis grandiflora, is a definite superstar among yellow flowers. This All-American Selections Gold Metal Award Winner has yellow flowers flush to orange-yellow near the center and bloom June through October. In the Tickseed family, the dark green thread leaf foliage makes a great contrast with the flower color. It should be cut backing early and late summer to extend the bloom period. Coreopsis æEarly SunriseÆ looks great with any type of grass, in borders or mass plantings in sunny gardens."
