Coreopsis ‘Sunshine Superman’ (Coreopsis grandiflora or hybrid)
‘Sunshine Superman’ is a compact, long-blooming tickseed cultivar that lights up the landscape with bright yellow daisy-like flowers on short, tidy plants. This low-maintenance perennial is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it a favorite for pollinator gardens, native-style meadows, and sunny borders. Bred for dense flowering, extended bloom time, and compact form, it thrives in poor soils and requires minimal care once established.
Key Characteristics
-
Compact and Free-Flowering
Unlike its taller relatives, ‘Sunshine Superman’ grows in a neat, rounded habit about 12–16 inches tall, making it ideal for front-of-border use, containers, or tight garden spaces. -
Pollinator Favorite
A nectar-rich choice for native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Excellent for extending bloom season and supporting insects in meadow-style plantings or mixed borders. -
Extended Bloom Season
Starts blooming in late spring and continues through summer, especially with deadheading. Adds months of golden color to any sunny planting. -
Tough and Drought-Tolerant
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, even in dry or sandy conditions. Deer-resistant and tolerant of neglect once established. -
Great for Ecological Design
While not a straight native species, it fits beautifully into pollinator strips, urban meadows, xeriscaping, and low-input gardens aiming to mimic native functions.
