Description
Coreopsis are easy to grow annuals which make lovely cut flowers for the home. The result of years of breeding work, Coreopsis x hybrida 'Incredible Dwarf Mix' boasts delicate blooms in an amazing array of colours, which appear to float above airy clumps of foliage. This vibrant dwarf variety has a neat and bushy habit – try growing yours in drifts through borders or for edging beds with long lasting summer colour. An ideal choice for cottage and wildlife gardens.Sow coreopsis from February to March on the surface of a good seed compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 21-30 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When Coreopsis plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun in any well drained soil at a distance of 30cm (12") apart.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 50cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 45cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x packet Coreopsis x hybrida 'Incredible Dwarf Mix' (approx. 100 seeds)Flowering period: June to OctoberImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
