Coreopsis pubescens 'Sunshine Superman' is a standout selection of star tickseed that lights up the garden with bright yellow, saucer-shaped flowers. You will get a long seasonal show on a neat, mounded plant that typically finishes around 12-18 inches tall, making it easy to tuck into the front of beds and mixed borders.
Plant it where you can give it plenty of sun for best bloom, though it also performs well with some afternoon shade in warmer spots. Choose average, well-drained soil; this plant is adaptable and can handle lean, rocky, or otherwise less-than-perfect ground as long as drainage is decent.
For best performance, water regularly during establishment, then let the soil dry slightly between soakings. Remove spent flowers to keep the display looking fresh and to encourage continued blooming, or shear lightly after a big flush to prompt new growth. In spring, cut back old stems to make way for clean new foliage.
Use 'Sunshine Superman' as an edging plant, in sunny pollinator plantings, or repeated in drifts for a bright ribbon of color. The flowers are a strong draw for butterflies, and the plant is also noted for deer resistance, helping it stay attractive through the season.
