Sunset Burst Solanna Coreopsis

Coreopsis grandiflora Solanna 'Sunset Burst' (Coreopsis grandiflora Solanna 'Sunset Burst') is a warmly glowing, compact coreopsis that brings a richly layered sunset palette to the summer border — producing large, semi-double flowers in a beautiful combination of deep burnt orange, warm coral, and soft yellow that together evoke the luminous warmth of a summer evening sky at its most spectacular. The Solanna series represents a significant advance in coreopsis breeding — delivering larger, more dramatically colored flowers on a compact, well-branched, freely flowering form that maximizes the seasonal color display while maintaining the naturally generous, low-maintenance character that has made coreopsis one of the most beloved of all summer perennials. Each flower has a vivid, jewel-toned depth of color that catches and holds sunlight beautifully, glowing with real warmth and presence in any garden setting.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and grow into its full, freely branching mounding form. 'Sunset Burst' excels in mixed perennial borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and sunny container arrangements where its warm, sunset-toned flowers create a sustained color display through the full summer and into fall. It is particularly beautiful combined with deep burgundy companions, ornamental grasses, warm orange gaillardia, and golden rudbeckia for richly layered, late-summer warm-palette compositions of genuine seasonal richness.

• Rich Sunset-Palette Semi-Double Flowers: Large, warmly glowing semi-double flowers in deep burnt orange, coral, and soft yellow create a beautifully layered sunset palette — a richly jewel-toned color display of real warmth and seasonal presence that distinguishes the Solanna series from all standard coreopsis selections.
• Solanna Series Advanced Breeding: Larger, more dramatically colored flowers on a compact, well-branched form represent a significant advancement in coreopsis performance — delivering enhanced visual impact and a longer, more generous seasonal color display than standard grandiflora types.
• Prolific, Long-Season Summer Bloom: Flowers abundantly and continuously from early summer through fall with regular deadheading — one of the most reliably long-blooming and practically low-maintenance warm-season perennials available for sunny borders and cutting gardens.
• Heat & Drought Tolerant: Once established, 'Sunset Burst' thrives in hot, sunny conditions with minimal supplemental irrigation — a tough, self-sufficient warm-season performer for water-wise borders and low-maintenance garden designs that deliver maximum color with minimum resources.
• Outstanding Cut Flower: The large, richly colored, warmly glowing semi-double blooms make exceptional long-lasting cut flowers for fresh arrangements — 'Sunset Burst' brings the full, glowing warmth of the summer garden indoors with genuine seasonal character and sustained color impact.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6+ hours daily) with well-drained, average to lean soil; avoid rich, overly fertile conditions that promote excessive leafy growth at the expense of prolific flowering. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce to moderate supplemental irrigation. USDA Hardiness Zones 5–9; mature height: 14–18 inches in bloom; spread: 14–18 inches. Bloom time: early summer through fall. Deadhead spent blooms regularly for best continuous flower production throughout the season.
