Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Nana' is a spreading, dwarf coreopsis with mat-like foliage 6 to 9" tall consisting of dense, bushy, slowly-spreading clumps of broad-oval, shiny deep green leaves (to 1-3" long). Bright orange-yellow daisy-like flowers (1-2" diameter) with yellow rays (toothed at the tip) and yellow center disks appear singly on naked stems above the foliage in late spring to early summer. May sparsely rebloom throughout the summer into fall if spent flowers are regularly deadheaded. Good small area ground cover. Also effective as an edger for borders or walks and paths.
