Coreopsis is one of the best blooming perennials for color and interesting foliage. Solanna™ Golden Sphere Coreopsis has a bright, cheery, fully double flower and is tolerant of heat and humidity. This sweet and sunny yellow flower keeps blooming all summer and will not stop until the first frost of fall. Sturdy flower stems mean no need for staking to keep it from flopping onto other plants.
Plant Solanna™ Golden Spheres at the front of a mixed perennial border. Alternatively, use it to edge a garden bed or spice up pots and planters as part of a mixed seasonal display. Coreopsis is a good choice for use in areas with a high concentration of deer. These plants are seldom browsed on and will quickly regrow if nibbled. Slug and snail protection may be needed early in the spring when the new foliage emerges. After plants reach their full size, these pests will move on.
Solanna™ Golden Spheres Coreopsis Care
Plant Coreopsis in full sun to part shade. An average soil texture with good drainage is key to a healthy root system. Adding compost to heavy clay soil will make it drain better and lighten the texture for roots to establish well. Water plants when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. As Coreopsis roots become established, the plant will easily tolerate short periods of drought. Fertilize in the early spring by applying a slow-release granular formula for blooming perennials and shrubs to the root zone, and lightly scratch it into the soil.
Deadhead Solanna™ Golden Spheres Coreopsis regularly to prevent the plant from setting seed. Pinching to increase the stem density is not required as this cultivar naturally develops dense branching. Shearing the whole plant back by half in mid-June will encourage a second round of flowering and fresh growth of the foliage. Coreopsis growing in containers or hanging baskets may need this extra cutting back in summer. Clean up any dead top growth late in the winter before the new season’s growth emerges. Alternatively, the top growth can be reduced to within 6 inches of the soil late in the fall. Apply 2-3 inches of shredded leaves or compost to the growth crown for added insulation through the winter.
Solanna™ Golden Spheres Coreopsis Spacing
Golden Spheres is relatively compact. A height of 8 inches and spread of 12 inches makes this plant perfect for tucking into bare spots or pots. Space plants about 12 inches apart from the center. Container-grown Coreopsis requires a pot with at least an 8-inch diameter.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
