| Botanical Name | Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise' |
| Description | An essential perennial for any Willis or Houston sun garden, 'Early Sunrise' is celebrated for its early start and prolific blooming. These 1-gallon plants produce radiant, semi-double yellow flowers with ruffled petals that stand out beautifully against dark green foliage. It is highly heat-tolerant and handles the humidity of Southeast Texas with grace. For best results in our local clay, plant in a raised bed or well-drained area; while it is tough, it requires "dry feet" to prevent crown rot during our wet winter months. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for the best flower production and strong stems) |
| Height x Width | 18-24 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; very drought-hardy once established. Sharp drainage is critical during heavy Houston rain events. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 (Reliable perennial for the Houston metro area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to fuel consistent blooms. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new buds to form. Shear the plant back significantly in late summer to stimulate a fresh flush of fall flowers. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
