Dwarf Mouse Ear Coreopsis – 5 Pack Of Quart Pots

---

A dwarf selection of our North American native Mouse Ear Coreopsis, ‘Nana’ grows to only 10 inches high in flower. From mid spring to early summer and sporadically thereafter to frost, golden yellow daisy-like flowers float atop thin stems above 4 to 6 inch mounds of mouse ear shaped leaves, hence the name. Butterflies and beneficial pollinators love the flowers. Very easy to grow, this plant spreads gradually by stolons to make a patch but isn’t at all invasive, which makes it a good choice for use in perennial borders, rock gardens or as an edging or ground cover.

Dwarf Mouse Ear Coreopsis is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. That said, it will tolerate a little shade or filtered sun and is moderately drought tolerant when established. For best flowering and density of foliage we suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with bagged top soil or other organic matter to improve drainage. Spent flowers can be deadheaded after the first bloom cycle to encourage a heavier late summer to fall bloom cycle.
