Coreopsis SUNNY DAYS™ ‘Rays’
Bright autumn colored stars cover this dense, bushy plant. Fine needle-like foliage is plentiful and gives the plant an overall airy look. Exceedingly attractive to pollinator insects, especially honey bees. Flowers continually change colors, also. Bright lemon gold shifts to tawny orange, then to a blushing pink and coral. Unique among Coreopsis. Verticilata breeding and mildew resistant.
