250 Seeds Dwarf Red Plains Coreopsis Coreopsis tinctoria Wildflower

Dwarf Red Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) is a compact, easy-to-grow annual wildflower known for its cheerful, deep red and yellow blooms. Reaching about 12 to 18 inches tall, it brings a bright, natural look to meadow plantings, cottage gardens, and wildflower borders, and it typically blooms over a long season from early summer into fall.
The colorful daisy-like flowers are a lovely choice for cutting gardens and mixed beds, and their open form makes them a favorite landing spot for bees and butterflies. This species self-sows readily, returning year after year in suitable conditions, and it performs well in sunny, low-maintenance plantings. It can be direct sown in spring after the last frost or started indoors for an earlier bloom. Species: Coreopsis tinctoria
