Coreopsis Tinctoria Seeds

Package includes: Coreopsis Tinctoria 200 Seeds

Sowing Coreopsis Seed Indoors: 

• ✅ Sow Coreopsis seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the average last frost
• ✅ Sprinkle the seeds over the soil in a seed-starting formula and press them lightly
• ✅ Keep the soil moist at 70-75 degrees F
• ✅ Seedlings emerge in 15-30 days
• ✅ When seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow. Incandescent bulbs are not recommended, because they will get too hot. 
• ✅ If growing coreopsis in small cells, transplant the seedlings to 3 or 4 inch pots when they have at least 2 pairs of true leaves before transplanting to the garden so they have enough room to develop strong roots.
• ✅ "Harden Off "Coreopsis seedlings before transplanting outdoors. Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning.
