HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting the seed just below the surface of the soil; these golden wave tickseed seeds need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days. The treated Coreopsis Basalis seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; plant the seeds on the surface of a flat, keeping the moisture consistent and the temperature around 65 degrees F. Transplant seedlings.
Growing: Water the seedlings occasionally until they become established; mature plants prefer dry soil, and tolerate drought well. If allowed to self-seed, they will produce a new crop of flowers next year. This plant attracts butterflies and bees as well as resisting deer.
Harvesting: For long lasting fresh flowers, cut the stems long and place them in water immediately.
Seed Saving: Several weeks after the flowers have faded, the seed heads will turn dry and dark brown. Since these seeds are a favorite food of songbirds and rodents, harvest them promptly. Cut the heads from the plant and spread them out to dry completely. Break them apart to remove the seeds, and separate the seeds from the chaff. Store the golden wave tickseed seeds in a cool, dry place.
