50+ Calliopsis SEEDS (Coreopsis plains) Organic HeirloomLanceleaf Tickseed.

 

Coreopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Common names include calliopsis and tickseed.

 

 

 

It's a long-lived plant bearing short rhizomes, but is not really invasive. Being a short-day plant, it's the earliest of the coreopsis to bloom, flowering from spring to early summer (most others are long-day plants, with mid- to late-summer flowers).

 

 

 

Plains Coreopsis is a bright annual that flowers from June to Sept. Lots of very showy yellow flowers with red centers are produced on fairly large branched plants.

Some coreopsis are perennial—living more than one year, others are annual—living for only one year. So it's important when shopping for, and choosing, which coreopsis you'll plant to find out first if the desired plant is annual or perennial in your area.

 

Coreopsis is a wonderful genus of garden worthy flowering plants, yet having a common name associated with a dreaded insect can make some individuals question its garden worthiness. Fortunately, there is nothing to fear, since this plant only attracts praise and not ticks!

Coreopsis grows best in full sun or light shade. Perennial coreopsis grows well in borders mixed with other herbaceous plants, shrubs, and ornamental grasses.
