Growing Instructions for the Goldenmane Coreopsis

The seeds can be sown on the ground in the spring or summer or they can be grown in pots at any time of the year. 1. The seeds like moist, well-drained soil. Use a sterile seed starter mix, if available. It prevents soil fungi from damaging the seeds and the seedlings. If not available, then make a mixture of half potting soil and half sand, perlite or vermiculite. 2. Put the soil in a pot. 3. Sow the seeds on the soil. 4. Water the soil so that it is moist but not wet. 5. Place the pots in an area with warm temperatures in full sun or part shade. The seeds germinate in 5 to 20 days. 6. When the seedlings are a few inches tall, they can be transplanted.
