The dwarf cultivar Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana' is a lovely
semi-evergreen to evergreen
perennial with
sunny yellow, daisy-like blooms.
With mat-like foliage (6-12 inches tall) consisting of dense, bushy,
spreading
clumps of short and shiny, oval and broad, deep green leaves (up to 1-3 inches long), Nana's foliage alone tends to make a statement in mass plantings.
But if it is blossoms you are after, in late spring to early summer, she will adorn your garden with numerous bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers (1-2 inches in diameter) with yellow
rays that are toothed at the tip.
If you live in a warmer climate, you will love watching the foliage turns greenish-bronze for the winter. Nana has a moderate to fast growth rate. This is an absolutely lovely option for someone who wishes to sprinkle their garden with golden blooms, butterflies and birds.
Interesting Fact
Ariculata means "eared" in reference to ear-like lobes at the base of fuzzy dark-green leaves.

General information about Coreopsis: With her beautiful sunny flowering blooms, nothing says summer like Coreopsis. She is excellent for borders and edging or used in mass plantings as a bright blanketing groundcover. In fact, the brilliant yellow blooms make lovely cut flowers, so most people find themselves returning for more! Coreopsis is also a winner because she attracts butterflies and her seeds attract birds to your garden. She is known for spreading by stolons, yet she isn’t invasive. Easily grown in well drained, average to dry soil, Coreopsis will also tolerate poor soil, humidity, seashore, and even grows on slopes. Gardener Tips If spent flowers are regularly deadheaded, sparse and intermittent repeat blooming may continue throughout the summer and into fall. In hot, summer climates, plants often stop blooming in mid-summer with a rebloom occurring in fall when temperatures become more moderate. Plants may be sheared in mid to late summer to tidy their appearance and promote a fall rebloom. |
