PLANT INFORMATION AND
CULTIVATION
Coreopsis are hardy annual and perennial
plants belonging to the Daisy family, Compositae.
They bear bright long stemmed flowers ranging in color from pale
to dark yellow to mahogany, some with bicolor
markings. The plants thrive in ordinary garden soil in a
sunny place. Most are drought tolerant and some
varieties are tolerant of wet soils. There are several wildflower
varieties native to the US and Canada that are grown for
gardens. They make a lovel show in mass plantings and are
also good for bedding or borders.
Propagation is done either by sowing seed or by
division. To sow seed FOR TRANSPLANTS: Sow
seed in pots or trays. Cover seed lightly as light aids in
germination. Keep moist at 75F. Transplant seedlings
when they reach 2 inches tall. Plant outdoors when all
danger of frost is past, spacing 12-18inches apart each way,
depending on variety. DIRECT SOW:
Sow seed in prepared area. Barely cover or broadcast seed
and rake lightly into the ground. Keep moist until seedlings
emerge.. Keep weeds down to encourage growth.
Coreopsis are an excellent choice for bees and butterflies.
The seeds have been used as a substitute for coffee and
a tea made from the roots has been used to treat diahrrea. An old
wives tale suggests the drinking tea made from the roots can help
pregnant women produce a female child.
