Coreopsis 'Mercury Rising'

1 Gallon Hardy and very floriferous, Coreopsis ‘Mercury Rising’ is a vigorous perennial forming a wide spreading, well-branched clump of bright green, narrow leaves. From early summer through early fall, potentially even until frost, it produces masses of 2 in. large (5 cm), lustrous, velvety-red flowers adorned with a bright golden center. Slightly creamy-white frosted at the petal tips, the flowers do not fade in the sun or heat and rise elegantly atop the fresh-looking foliage. Perfect to create a stunning floral display in the garden, it can even be enjoyed indoors as it makes excellent cut flowers. A little toughy, this Tickseed has an excellent disease resistance. Ideal for sunny borders and containers. Height: 1 - 2' Spread: 1 - 2' Spacing: 2' Exposure: Full Sun (6+ Hours) Blooms: Late Spring through Fall
