ëSienna Sunset is a threadleaf-type coreopsis (tickseed) that typically grows in a clump to 16-20\ tall spreading to 20-24\" wide. It is a sport of Coreopsis 'Creme Brulee' (see B861 herein). Daisy-like flowers bloom from late spring to mid-summer with sporadic additional into fall. Rays emerge burnt sienna but gradually age to a lighter shade of orange. Rays are toothed at the tip and surround a dark yellow center disk. Deep green leaves. Plants in the genus Coreopsis are sometimes commonly called tickseed in reference to the resemblance of the seeds to ticks. U. S. Plant Patent Applied For (PPAF)."
