{"product_id":"coreopsis-flower-seeds-packet","title":"Coreopsis Flower Seeds Packet","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig Flower Coreopsis (Coreopsis grandiflora) is a drought-tolerant perennial that bursts into large golden-yellow, daisy-like blooms through the hottest weeks of summer. It thrives in poor soil with very little attention, attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, and is a beautiful choice for flower beds, borders, cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, containers, and cut flower bouquets. Seeds are non-GMO and vacuum-sealed for freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial, hardy in USDA zones 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun (6-8+ hours a day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 in between plants, 18-24 in between rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, average to poor soil; avoid soggy ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 50 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow Coreopsis from Seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing and Germination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow after the last frost, or start indoors in seed trays 6-8 weeks earlier.

Go easy on fertilizer: a light balanced feeding in spring is plenty, as too much produces leaves instead of flowers. Remove spent blooms to keep flowers coming (this also limits self-seeding), and cut plants back in late summer for a second flush of blooms. In fall, leave a few seed heads for the birds or trim back for tidiness. To save seed, let some heads dry on the plant and store the seeds in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ocean Made","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52546898002215,"sku":"SECORE","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/1454\/8775\/files\/SECORE-1.webp?v=1794002369","url":"https:\/\/oceanmade.co\/products\/coreopsis-flower-seeds-packet","provider":"Ocean Made","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
