Coreopsis
auriculata 'nana' * Mouse Ear Tickseed |
| This
compact Coreopis auriculata 'nana' has foliage that grows to 3" tall
and flowers that rise about 3" above that. The plant will
gradually form a clump a foot or more in diameter. This
Coreopsis puts on a great early
spring bloom and then has scattered blooms during the summer and a second
flush of flowers in the later portion of the Fall. It will flower into the summer if the flowers are removed.
If the flowers are left they are not nearly the distraction that they are
on the larger Coreopsis species. I like the dark green foliage and the rich yellow flowers. It blooms before
Coreopsis 'sunray' gets going. I use it for the early source of yellow in
my garden.
