Coreopsis a. ’Nana’
{24 Pots - 3 1/2 in.}

(AKA Tickseed, Mouse-eared Coreopsis, Dwarf Eared Coreopsis)
Coreopsis auriculata ’Nana’ - This dwarf cultivar typically forms a semi-evergreen to evergreen foliage mat 8-12 inches tall consisting of dense, bushy, slowly-spreading clumps of short, broad-oval, shiny deep green leaves (to 1-3 inches long). Numerous bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers (1-2 inches diameter) with yellow rays (toothed at the tip) and yellow center disks appear singly on naked stems above the foliage in late spring to early summer.
Sparse and intermittent rebloom may continue throughout the summer into fall if spent flowers are regularly deadheaded, however in hot summer climates plants often stop blooming in mid-summer with a rebloom occurring in fall after temperatures moderate. Excellent for borders and edging or as a groundcover, the bright colored flowers make wonderful cut flowers and attract butterflies too!
The fine foliage makes a nice transition between other garden textures. Plants may be sheared in mid to late summer to promote a fall rebloom and tidy the appearance.

Easily grown in well drained average to dry soil, it tolerates poor soil, humidity, seashore, slopes. ’Nana’ is less tolerant of drought than most coreopsis, but still does well in dry soils. Spreads by stolons, but is not invasive. The foliage turns greenish-bronze for the winter in warmer climates. Native to the southeastern US, moderate to fast growth rate. Ariculata means "eared" in reference to the ear-like lobes at the base of the fuzzy dark green leaves. Mature height 8-12", spacing 9-12".
