Grower Information:

The first Coreopsis on the shelf!
There’s early…and then there’s Double the Sun! This bright variety is 2 to 3 weeks earlier than our Early Sunrise and other comparable varieties. In Summer, it finishes 1 to 2 weeks before the rest. This favourite perennial class can be on store shelves before any other compact, semi-double yellow Coreopsis.

Plug crop time: 5 to 7 weeks
Transplant to finish: 9 to 10 weeks

  • Semi-double, clear golden yellow flowers are the same large, 2.5-in./6-cm size as SunKiss and Early Sunrise, and bigger than Sunfire.
  • Great controlled habit with strong flowering.
  • Ideal for quart and 1-gallon production in Spring and Summer with 13-hour critical daylength.
