About the Coreopsis -
Tequilla Sunrise :
The Coreopsis ‘Tequilla Sunrise’ is a very
exciting new variety. In the Tickseed family, the
gorgeous variegated olive-green foliage, turning to
mahogany in the fall, and cream to yellow flowers
with a red eye, is a great addition to any garden.
Blooming from June to October, it has a plant height
of 12” and a spread of 10-12”. ‘Tequilla Sunrise’
should be planted in full sun.
It is drought-tolerant and tough but does need
well-drained soil. It should be cut backing early
and late summer to extend the bloom period.
Coreopsis ‘Tequilla Sunrise’ looks great with any
type of grass, in borders or mass plantings in sunny
gardens. It is very effective in naturalized areas,
rock and cottage gardens or wild gardens. No garden
should be without it.
