green
Propagation:

beds, borders, mass plantings, cut flowers and dried flowers
Growing Hints:
Buy starter plants or sow seeds directly into garden in the summer. Seeds can also be started indoors from 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last spring frost date. If plants start to get leggy and ragged during midsummer heat, cutting them to the ground will reinvigorate them. Divide every 2 to 3 years in the spring. Northern climates should protect roots with mulch over winter.
Interesting Facts:
The Coreopsis gets the nickname "Tickseed" due to the fact that its seeds resemble ticks.
