Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

What exactly is in a packet of Dwarf Selection coreopsis?
The packet contains approximately 150 bare seeds of Coreopsis tinctoria Dwarf Selection, product code 60-5422-010. The official product page and the 2026 W.H. Perron catalogue confirm both this quantity and the bare formulation. No coating, priming, or other treatment is stated in the official sources consulted, and the product is not presented as organic, so semences_biologique is marked FALSE. This annual species can produce seed and self-sow, with no F1-hybrid designation, so semence_reproductible is marked TRUE. The seeds are small: open the packet over a clean surface, label the tray before sowing, and keep unused seed tightly closed in cool, dry conditions. bare seed form does not constitute organic certification.
How and when should Dwarf Selection be sown?
Start seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks before outdoor planting, or sow directly in the garden after the last frost. Use a fine, porous, moist medium, distribute the small seeds near the surface, and cover them very lightly. The current W.H. Perron product page recommends approximately 24°C and gives 5 to 10 days for germination. A historical technical sheet tied to the same code instead gives 15 to 18°C and 4 to 6 days; this discrepancy is retained in validation rather than hidden. For home sowing, maintain steady warmth, moisture without saturation, and bright light after emergence. Harden plants before transplanting. For direct sowing, prepare a clean, firm, well-drained seedbed and thin seedlings to maintain good air movement.
How should this annual coreopsis be maintained?
Plant Dwarf Selection in sun or light partial shade in ordinary to sandy, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then lightly when the surface dries; avoid ground that remains waterlogged. This annual reaches approximately 40 to 60 cm tall and 30 cm wide and may benefit from protection against strong wind because its slender stems can lean. Remove spent flowers to stimulate new buds and limit unwanted self-sowing. If natural return is desired, allow several heads to mature and fall onto open soil instead. The plant attracts butterflies and other pollinators and suits beds, naturalized borders, and cut-flower use. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which encourages leafy growth at the expense of bloom and can make stems softer.
Is Coreopsis tinctoria safe for pets?
Yes. The ASPCA classifies Coreopsis species as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. The toxicity and pet-friendly fields are therefore marked FALSE and TRUE respectively. This classification concerns the plant itself, not fertilizers, pesticides, or other products applied during cultivation. It also does not mean an animal should be encouraged to eat it, since a large amount of any plant material may cause digestive discomfort. Keep the packet out of reach and prevent repeated grazing. If an animal swallows a substantial amount, develops vomiting or diarrhea, or behaves abnormally, contact a veterinarian. Provide the name Coreopsis tinctoria, the product code, and a complete list of products used in the garden to support an accurate assessment.

Dwarf Selection coreopsis is enjoyed during the flowering or decorative development period indicated for this variety.
