  • Information
    • These easy-to-grow perennials, also known as Tickseed, produce 2”-wide, warm-hued flowers amid finely-cut foliage. Their butterfly-loved, uniform, compact plants grow up to 24” tall and spread to 26” across. Thriving even in poor soil with ever-increasing mounds, they should be kept moderately moist and deadheaded to prolong flowering. Direct-sow after the last spring frost date, or start indoors as transplants 6 to 8 weeks in advance to promote first-year flowers. Deer resistant. Perennial. Hardiness zones: 4-9. Summer flowering. Height: 24". Average seed life: 2 years.

      Days to Germination:10-25 days

      Coreopsis grandiflora, Tickseed. An easy-to-grow perennial (even in poor soil), Coreopsis will produce little, daisy-like flowers amid feathery foliage the first year if started early enough, 8 weeks before transplanting out. But it may be sown outdoors anytime from early spring up until 2 months before the first fall frost. Sow seeds shallowly, pressing them firmly into the soil surface, barely covered, as light is needed for germination. Provide even moisture and strong light during germination. Harden the plants off by gradually acclimating them to outside conditions over 7 to 10 days. Prepare a garden bed in full sunlight with well draining soil. Thin or carefully transplant the seedlings, planting them 12" apart. Coreopis should be kept moderately moist and deadheaded to prolong its flowering period. Summer flowering. Height: 24".
