Coreopsis Romance Mix Seeds - Bred by Jig-Bee

Hardy Annual

Description

Coreopsis tinctoria

Tall, branching and prolific - Coreopsis Romance Mix is a features mauve, red, firey orange, and some bi-colored blooms. The original mauve color that I have been selecting for is less stable and is now producing a beautiful mix of colors.  Please note the photo represents a selection of the mauve blooms in the mix.

When planted in the cool spring, plants can reach 3-4 feet tall. Coreopsis is one of my favorite unknown plants that makes an awesome cut flower. It can be used in bloom or bud form for extra sparkle and texture to bouquets and arrangements.
