Golden Sphere Coreopsis covers itself in double golden flowers shaped like small tight buttons, held just above a rounded mound of fresh green leaves. The color is a saturated egg-yolk yellow that reads from a long way off.

It stays genuinely small, which is the useful part — front of a border, a patio pot, the sunny gap between larger perennials, a strip along a walk. Full sun and free drainage are the whole requirement, with even moisture while it is growing. Keep deadheading and it flowers from summer into fall, and the stems cut well for a vase.

Fun fact: the name is unflattering. Coreopsis comes from the Greek for bedbug-like, after the shape of the seeds — which is also how the plant picked up its common name, tickseed.
