How to Grow
Direct sow seeds onto the soil surface and press lightly — do not cover deeply as seeds need light to germinate. Sow in well-drained, even poor soil; Coreopsis actually thrives without rich fertilizer. Thin seedlings to 20–25 cm apart. In Pakistan, ideal sowing time is October–November for winter blooms or February for spring display. No deadheading required, though it encourages more blooms.
