 Coreopsis 'Sunshine Superman'Gardeners are becoming more sophisticated in their search for new and better plants and professional growers are stepping-up to provide the latter, but often require perennials that they can grow easily and efficiently. American Native plants are becoming more valuable and popular so Coreopsis pubescens 'Sunshine Superman' from German seed company Jelitto Seeds fits the bill. Coreopsis pubescens, the Star Tickseed, a USA native from Illinois south to Texas across to Florida has been an underused garden perennial that is a breeze to grow. 'Sunshine Superman' from Dale Hendricks, of North Creek Nurseries in the US is a very low-growing (25 cm/10"), compact and bushy selection of this popular genus with somewhat hairy foliage. Medium sized golden flowers with orange centers are opening steadily from June until late September when early frost finally stops Superman quicker than kryptonite!
