It looks like the one from Proven Winners called "Salsa". Certainly catches the eye. And now quite a few of us on the Forum probably want to add it to our gardens too!

Is this a returning plant from last year? If so, we'd appreciate your review of its performance, i.e. a prolific bloomer throughout all 3 of our growing seasons? weedy? invasive? etc.

Thanks, Kara.

It really is an eye-popper. I can feel my eyes bleeding and had to turn the gamma down on my video card before I went blind! I also would be interested to learn if this has been a perennial for you. I just recently picked up some seeds for Coreopsis lanceolata 'Sterntaler', but I wouldn't mind having this in the same bed to add variety to the blooms.

Unfortuneatly, this only seems to last one season and doesn't appear to reseed, I wish it did. It makes such a nice splash of color in the garden though that I keep buying it each spring! It only lasts to about mid to late summer. The only coreopsis that I've had reseed from year to year is the grandiflora.

Here's a picture of what I think is grandiflora. I do know that this one will spread by seed but for some reason it prefers to spread into the lawn instead of the flower bed! I've dug up over 2 dozen of them from the lawn.
