| Botanical Name | Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana' |
| Description | A cheerful and reliable perennial for Willis and Houston, 'Nana' is a dwarf selection perfect for the front of the border or rock gardens. It is one of the earliest Coreopsis to bloom, covering its "mouse-ear" shaped leaves with vibrant orange-yellow flowers in spring, with sporadic blooming through summer. It handles the Southeast Texas heat and humidity better than many other varieties. To ensure it thrives in local clay, plant in a sunny, well-drained spot; this little perennial is tough but will not tolerate "wet feet" during our rainy Houston winters. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Best for heavy blooming) to Light Shade |
| Height x Width | 6-9 in. Tall x 12 in. Wide (Spreads slowly via stolons) |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent crown rot during wet Houston months. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 (A dependable perennial for the Houston metro area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing to maintain a compact habit. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a longer blooming season. Shear lightly in late summer to tidy up the foliage and potentially spark a fall rebloom. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
