Coreopsis rosea – Pink Tickseed also commonly known as the Pink Coreopsis and Rose Tickseed, is noted for its long, continuous flowering season. It is a perennial that forms dense, bushy clumps of airy, grass-like, fine-textured light green leaves. It has a blooming season that lasts from midsummer to fall, where a profusion of showy, rosy-pink, starry flowers that are up to 1 inch across are born on short stems. Their center disk is golden, which provides a nice contrast to the 8 rich pink ray florets. They grow best in full sun in consistently moist, sandy, slightly acidic, well-draining soils and will grow between 18 – 24 inches tall. It's important to note that, unlike most other Coreopsis, this flower is NOT tolerant of heat or dry soil. These fragrant flowers will attract pollinators to the garden such as butterflies, bees, and birds while being resistant to deer and rabbits. They make great cut flowers, do well in beds and borders, and can be used for edging, groundcovers, and mass plantings. These plants are native to sandy, wet soils that are along the water margins in coastal plain areas from Nova Scotia to Maryland. Being that they are easy to grow and low maintenance, they are great flowers for the beginning, busy gardener! Don’t miss out on this flower seed find, they will bring you blooms that will add a nice pop of color to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!
