Créme Caramel Coreopsis Plants
Créme Caramel Coreopsis, (Tickseed) is beautiful, but it's also a powerhouse. It's easy to grow from seed, perennial, and takes to transplanting easily. It blooms constantly all summer, and even through frosts, heavy rain, and drought. Its fluttery bi-color blooms of yellow and rose-gold attract all kinds of pollinators. It's a USA native plant, it's as dependable as the sunrise, and a great plant for beginners.
You just can't go wrong with Coreopsis. Hardy, constantly flowering, and tolerant of all weather - we've never known anything to look so dainty but act so tough.

 How to Plant |
Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water |
 Where to Plant |
Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with well-draining soil |
 When to Plant |
Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon |
 When to Expect Blooms |
early-summer through frost |
 Care Instructions |
Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more |
 Extra Credit |

When would these plants ship? Would I need to start in containers indoors in Ohio Zone 4 winter?
