Planting & Care

Sow coreopsis seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the surface and keeping the medium evenly moist but not soggy. Provide warmth and bright light for germination, and thin or transplant seedlings once they are large enough to handle. Harden off young plants before moving them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Set plants in full sun and water regularly during establishment. Once settled, dwarf red coreopsis is relatively low-maintenance; deadheading spent blooms can encourage continued flowering, and light trimming helps maintain a tidy, compact shape.
