Coreopsis 'Early Sunrise' Seeds (Tickseed)
Bring reliable, non-stop sunshine to your garden with Coreopsis 'Early Sunrise'. This award-winning hardy perennial (also known as Tickseed) is a gardener's favourite for a reason. It produces a fantastic abundance of vibrant, golden-yellow, semi-double flowers from early summer often right through to autumn. It's wonderfully easy to grow, drought-tolerant once established, and provides a cheerful display year after year.
A brilliant, long-flowering choice for our Perennial Flower Seeds collection! Its sunny flowers are also loved by bees, see our Seeds for Pollinators collection.
