Coreopsis SUNSTAR 'Rose'

Coreopsis SUNSTAR™ ‘Rose’ is the named cultivar TNCORSR, protected as PP 30,996. Terra Nova describes white-edged, rose-eyed flowers, green feathery foliage, a mounding habit, full-sun exposure, and June–September flowering. [Terra Nova’s SUNSTAR Rose profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coreopsis-sunstar-rose/) and [the plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP30996) identify the exact selection. ## Landscape Use Use this compact perennial in a sunny border or container, where the pink-and-white flowers can stand out against its fine green foliage. Terra Nova lists USDA hardiness zones 6–10 and describes a clean, manicured habit with a long bloom period. The patent identifies the cultivar for sunny landscape use and records a dense, medium-mounding form. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and well-drained garden soil. The breeder’s bloom calendar runs from June through September, and its profile describes the foliage as feathery and mildew resistant. The flower-color description is consistently pale petals edged or marked with rose tones, distinguishing SUNSTAR Rose from the orange-flowered SUNSTAR Orange selection. ## Maintenance Inspect the mound during its flowering season and remove spent stems when needed to maintain a tidy planting. Terra Nova describes SUNSTAR Rose as hardy, clean-growing, and long blooming. Its reported hardiness range is USDA zones 6–10; local winter and summer conditions still affect performance.
