COREOPSIS
APPROXIMATE SEED COUNT PER PACKAGE: 50
All seed was grown in an open pollinated environment & harvested by hand here at Barefoot Ridge.
We cleaned, sorted and packaged all with care so you can share in the magic of growing all of these beautiful plants next season!
Sow directly in the garden: After the last frost, sow seeds 1/2 inch deep and 30–80 cm apart in moist, well-drained soil. Don't cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
Start seeds indoors: In late winter or early spring, sow seeds in a seed-starting mix in pots or trays. Keep the soil moist and warm. When the seedlings have their first true leaves, transplant them to the garden.
Acclimate seedlings to the outdoors: If you started seeds indoors, take the seedlings outside for long periods each day for about a week to slowly acclimate them to the outdoors.
Here are some other tips for growing coreopsis:
Water: Water thoroughly when you plant, and keep the soil moist but not wet.
Thin: Thin seedlings to 12–18 inches apart as they grow.
Deadhead: Remove spent flowers by clipping the stem back to the nearest healthy leaves. This encourages the plant to bloom longer.
Divide: Every three years or so, divide perennial coreopsis in spring or early fall if they start to look weak.
Protect from pests: Slugs and snails may attack young plants. You can wash aphids off stems with a strong stream of water.
Avoid over-feeding: Over-feeding can lead to leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
Choose the right location: Coreopsis requires full sun and well-drained soil. It can tolerate drought and less-than-ideal conditions.
