Early Sunrise coreopsis is a mounding perennial flower with narrow, dark green leaves. Bright yellow, 2-inch, semi-double flowers are produced on slender stems. One of its best characteristics is its ability to flower through much of the summer.
Early Sunrise coreposis has been a steady performer and a popular plant at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, where it grows in the low water zone. It is a reliable bloomer that brings cheery color the landscape throughout the summer.
After an individual flower has finished blooming, cut the flower stalk back to a set of leaves. This practice will prolong the blooming period and improve the plant's appearance. Cut plant to ground level in late winter or early spring.
