Product Details
Coreopsis flowers gently sway in the lightest breeze, appearing to almost float above the delicate foliage. Wildflowers, like this heirloom, are easy to grow and don't need special care, other than water, although moderately drought and heat tolerant, too. Butterflies and bees delight in the nectar, and songbirds seek out the seeds in fall and winter. Coreopsis is also known as tickseed. Often reseeds.

It was my first time growing these last season. Started indoor 4wks blf. Hardened and transplanted out 2wks after frost date. Bloomed June 4th in my zone 6 upstate NY garden and continued all season long. Pollinators LOVED them. Looking forward to growing & enjoying these again this year!

First time growing coreopsis. Started in winter sowing jugs. Good germination, most to all seeds sprouted. Very cute little flowers for a whimsical flower bed.

I like planting Minnesota natives like these. I have struggled to get prolific germination, but I did still get several plants. There might have been too much compost to get good germination.

Plains Coreopsis is a bright pop of color throughout my veggie beds. Proving to be an excellent performer in the CA high desert. The warmer it gets the better the blooms!
