Coreopsis grandiflora 'Baby Sun' (Baby Sun Coreopsis) 4 in.
As its name suggests, ‘Baby Sun’ is a tickseed appreciated for its tidy, compact form, growing only 12-18 inches tall by 9-12 inches wide. But don’t let its compact form fool you: It still boasts a multitude of large (2-inch+) golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with gorgeous maroon centers that will bloom from late spring to late summer with a little deadheading. It is also prized for its cut flowers, since the abundant blooms mean you can harvest a few for vases while still leaving plenty in the garden for the butterflies and other pollinators to enjoy!
Like more Coreopsis, ‘Baby Sun’ is tolerant of most soils—even nutrient-poor or slightly rocky—but it needs a lot of sun to perform its best. After establishment, you shouldn’t have to worry about water, pests or other concerns. Use this tickseed in cottage gardens, mixed borders, and even containers, where its compact size makes it a carefree choice.
Pair ‘Baby Sun’ with other sun-loving perennials such as Gaura, Caryopteris, Achillea, and more!
