Coreopsis tinctoria
The Bouquet Magic coreopsis is an annual of the Asteraceae family, cultivated for its yellow flowers in the shape of small daisies and its interest in bouquets. In the garden, Coreopsis tinctoria forms upright stems that bear the flowers above the foliage, giving a light presence to the sunny flower beds and to the edges where the flowering remains clearly visible. Its yellow flowers are picked to make fresh bouquets; their simple silhouette accompanies the other flowers in the garden and allows you to vary seasonal arrangements. The plant prefers sun and light soil, especially sandy soil that drains freely, giving its roots and crown a suitable place to develop.

Coreopsis tinctoria — Bouquet Magic Coreopsis. The Bouquet Magic coreopsis is an annual of the Asteraceae family, cultivated for its yellow flowers in the shape of small daisies and its interest in bouquets. In the garden, Coreopsis tinctoria forms upright stems that bear the flowers above the foliage, giving a light presence to the sunny flower beds and to the edges where the flowering remains clearly visible. Its yellow flowers are picked to make fresh bouquets; their simple silhouette accompanies the other flowers in the garden and allows you to vary seasonal arrangements. The plant prefers sun and light soil, especially sandy soil that drains freely, giving its roots and crown a suitable place to develop.
Recommended planting period: May to June. Sow the seeds at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Germination usually takes 10 to 15 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 22 °C (64 to 72 °F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature.
Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed. Position smaller flowers close to a path for easy viewing, while taller plants can provide a focal point at the back of a bed. Repeat groups of the same variety to create a clear, visible colour pattern. Leave room to reach the plants for cutting, and avoid crowding clumps simply to fill the space right away. Its yellow flowers are picked to make fresh bouquets; their simple silhouette accompanies the other flowers in the garden and allows you to vary seasonal arrangements.

Growing method
Recommended planting period: May to June. Sow the seeds at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Germination usually takes 10 to 15 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 22 °C (64 to 72 °F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature. Plant outdoors once the conditions are suitable for the plants’ cold tolerance. Watch the progression from flower buds to open blooms and faded flowers to decide which care the plant needs. A cut must preserve the shoots that will bloom afterwards. Check the supports on tall-stemmed plants after a period of strong wind. Lightly removing damaged growth helps maintain the plant’s shape without leaving it bare. Adapt the end of the season to the cycle of the plant: annuals and perennials do not require the same preparation for winter. Decide whether to prolong the display of flowers or leave a few stems to develop seeds.
Soil and care
Soil & care
Watering
Coreopsis Bouquet Magic: Keep the substrate moist during the emergence and recovery of the young plants, without saturating it. After establishment, check the soil and water the base as needed. Avoid watering only the leaves or leaving the crown of the plant in soil that stays constantly wet. When growing this crop in containers, check more often for drying during hot weather. Drainage must allow surplus water to escape freely; adjust each watering to account for the amount of rainfall.
Soil type
Prepare a light, sandy and well-drained soil. Improve the soil before planting and avoid places where water remains accumulated after rain. An aerated soil allows the roots to settle without keeping the crown constantly wet. Do not cut the plate by circulating between the young plants. For container growing, use a suitable potting mix in a pot with open drainage holes. The drainage of the container and the substrate must work together to evacuate excess water.
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and should take into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the recommended application rate. Avoid combining too many products, especially in a container where the roots have a limited volume of growing medium. Water as needed after applying nutrients, and observe foliage growth before deciding whether another fertilizer application is necessary.
Moisture
Keep the potting mix moist during emergence, without standing water; then adjust watering to suit the crop
Seasonal care

Adapt the end of the season to the cycle of the plant: annuals and perennials do not require the same preparation for winter. Decide whether to prolong the display of flowers or leave a few stems to develop seeds. Deadheading suits many flowering annuals, while seed capsules and dried flower clusters may also provide ornamental interest. Keep plants labelled after flowering ends, and remove self-sown seedlings that are growing in a path. The plant prefers sun and light soil, especially sandy soil that drains freely, giving its roots and crown a suitable place to develop.
Container growing
Container growing
Recommended pot size
A stable container with drainage holes, enough width for the plant’s spread and sufficient depth for its roots
Choose a location in full sun. Reserve this spread around the plant: 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in.). When arranging flowering plants together in a container, leave enough room around each one for the growth it will make during the season. Place upright plants where they remain visible, and let any trailing stems extend over the container’s edge. Before combining plants in one container, check that they have similar requirements for sunlight and moisture throughout the growing season. After a few weeks, check where the plants are becoming crowded and remove only damaged parts or stems that disrupt the balance of the arrangement.

Flowering usually occurs in this period: June to September. Decide whether to prolong the display of flowers or leave a few stems to develop seeds. Deadheading suits many flowering annuals, while seed capsules and dried flower clusters may also provide ornamental interest. Keep the labels beside the plants even after their flowers have faded, so that their identity remains clear. Remove self-sown seedlings wherever they begin to occupy a garden path.
Harvest

Garden associations
Companion plants & uses
Companion plants
In a diverse planting, you can reserve sections close to these plants: concern, cosmos, echinacea. The association is used here to organize space and crops. Allow for the height, light requirements and water needs of each plant, leaving enough room between the foliage. Keep a path clear for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to make room for the next planting. This arrangement makes maintenance easier without promising protection against garden pests. Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed.
Garden use
Its yellow flowers are picked to make fresh bouquets; their simple silhouette accompanies the other flowers in the garden and allows you to vary seasonal arrangements. The plant prefers sun and light soil, especially sandy soil that drains freely, giving its roots and crown a suitable place to develop. Bouquet Magic thus brings together an interest in the flower beds, the making of bouquets and the reception of pollinating insects, in an annual crop for full sun. The Bouquet Magic coreopsis is an annual of the Asteraceae family, cultivated for its yellow flowers in the shape of small daisies and its interest in bouquets.

Wildlife & precautions
Supporting wildlife
Open flowers may provide food for visiting pollinating insects during the flowering season. Plant several specimens together in a sunny, accessible area, and avoid applying treatments to open blooms. If some stems are cut for bouquets, leave a share of the flowers in the garden for insect visitors.
