Coreopsis Letterbox Hybrid

The scrubjay crew is bringing flowers for a spring fling - remember that some flowers will be easy to find and others may require a search.

Coreopsis, Florida’s official state wildflower, is one of the cheeriest plants you can grow in your garden. Commonly called Tickseed, most varieties show off daisy-shaped golden-yellow flowers. No matter what variety of coreopsis you grow, it’s likely to be a butterfly magnet and drought-tolerant, as well. The different types of coreopsis have different bloom times, too. Some pack in their flowers throughout spring; others go from spring to fall, so you can enjoy coreopsis much of the year.  Grow coreopsis in full sun or part shade and well-drained soil. Most types are reasonably drought tolerant once established and do a good job taking care of themselves. Most coreopsis varieties are short-lived perennials in North Florida and annuals in Central and South Florida.
