Planting & Care

Sow Lance Leaf Coreopsis seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14–21 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and prevent unwanted self-seeding. In late winter or early spring, cut back old foliage to promote fresh growth.
