A few years ago I started some Coreopsis by seed. Coreopsis is a perennial that loves the sun. I started a few plants and now I have plenty more. It is long blooming, providing continual flowers since the first yellow blossoms of June.
And best of all, this variety called Sunburst is drought and heat tolerant. I have lost several plants this summer due to the drought and 100 degree temperatures, but not this coreopsis which just kept going, seemingly unaffected by the miserable weather. Coreopsis is definitely a keeper, and since I started it from some free seed, it's pretty darn cheap as well. The bargain hunter in me just loves this plant.
