How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors in a soilless mix in early spring for mid-summer blooms. Germinate at 24 °C for 5–10 days. After germination, grow on under lights at a slightly cooler temperature, harden off, and transplant outdoors in a sunny location. Outdoors, sow seeds mid-May to early June, keeping the soil moist during germination. Seeds may also be sown directly in fall to germinate the following spring.
Dwarf Plains Coreopsis is a beautiful addition to any natural or formal garden, providing vibrant blooms and remarkable resilience.
