Coreopsis flowers love the summer sun and heat. They are fairly drought tolerant once they are well-established. They are not too picky about soil, but it does need to drain well. Deadheading helps to encourage continuous blooms up until the end of summer.
Directly sow Coreopsis seeds outdoors in spring into a prepared seed bed. Soil should be loosened and weed-free. Press the flower seed into the soil but do not cover it. Keep the seed moist until germination. Coreopsis Mahogany Midget blooms in 10 weeks when sown from flower seeds.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
