Description

(Coreopsis grandiflora). This dwarf, double-petaled tickseed coreopsis is a pretty little pollinator magnet. An early bloomer, it is everything we love about native wildflowers! The plants reach 12 to 14 inches tall and are well adapted to a range of soils and conditions. It is beautifully suited to everything from meadows and wildflower stands to tidy beds, borders, and container gardens. Due to a lower germination rate, we're including extra seeds in each packet to ensure a full planting.

Growing Tips: Yellow Fully Double coreopsis is a heat and drought-tolerant heirloom variety. It attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, and thrives with minimal care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels. There is no need to fertilize these plants, as this can even reduce blooms.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Direct sow Yellow Fully Double coreopsis in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or sow in fall; these plants are frost hardy and perennial in zones 4-9. You can also start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date for an early start. Either way, press the seed onto the soil surface without covering it, as it needs light to germinate. Check your local area's frost dates to determine the best planting time in your region. Learn more about it by checking out our blog post, 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.' This variety is an early bloomer and will flower from summer through early fall.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow Yellow Fully Double coreopsis seeds on the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Indoors, use a seed-starting mix and press the seeds lightly onto the soil without covering them. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of around 70 F. Germination typically takes 10-21 days. For outdoor planting, prepare a sunny, well-drained garden bed, scatter the seeds evenly, and lightly press them into the soil surface. Once seedlings are established, harden them off and space them 10 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.

How to Grow

Yellow Fully Double coreopsis thrives in full sun, requiring at least 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-draining soil and can also tolerate poor soil conditions as long as water does not pool. Once established, this drought-tolerant variety requires minimal watering and grows well in hot, dry conditions. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back burned-out plants by one-third after the first bloom cycle for additional flowers later in the season. Fertilizer is generally unnecessary, as over-fertilizing may reduce blooming.

How to Save Seeds

  • Coreopsis are insect-pollinated and there may be some crossing between varieties in the garden. You can enjoy the mixing or use caging techniques and hand pollination to avoid crossing.
  • Saving seed from coreopsis is easy: simply allow the heads to brown and dry on plants and collect seeds. Store in a cool, dry, dark place over winter.
