Noted for its dwarf habit, Coreopsis auriculata 'Nana' (Lobed Tickseed) is a compact perennial forming a dense, bushy, slowly spreading mat of deep green foliage. Each ovate to lance-shaped leaf features a pair of small lateral lobes, which resemble mouse ears, hence the common name. Blooming profusely from early spring to early summer, brilliant golden-yellow flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), rise well above the foliage. Removing spent flowers regularly will encourage blooming to continue throughout the summer into fall. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity, this Coreopsis is perfect for border fronts and edging.
