Coreopsis sunray

Common Name:
Coreopsis 'Sunray'

Description:
Coreopsis grandiflora 'Sunray' is a bright and cheerful perennial prized for its golden-yellow, semi-double to double daisy-like blooms. Flowering abundantly from late spring into summer, it adds long-lasting colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. The plant forms a compact, bushy clump of finely divided green foliage, offering a neat and tidy appearance. 'Sunray' performs best in full sun and well-drained soils and is particularly well suited to Melbourne’s dry summer climate. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading will encourage continued flowering. It also attracts bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
