Growing Coreopsis ‘Zagreb’ from seed. You can direct-sow Coreopsis seeds once the soil has warmed up in the spring or get a head start indoors. Sow seeds about six to eight weeks before your frost-free date. Keep the soil moist and warm (about 70°F to 75°F). Once the seedlings grow, give them plenty of light.

This Coreopsis is a National Garden Bureau Top Perennial for 2018 and Popular Choice for 2019 as well as a recipient of the 2020 Pennsylvania Gold Medal Award! Be sure to cut back in spring before new growth begins.
Once plants have died to the ground they are easy to clean up by simply cutting back to about 4” (10cm) above the ground. The flowering plumes and foliage of ornamental grasses create a beautiful feature in the winter landscape. Leave the entire plant for the winter and cut it back to the ground in early spring, just before new growth starts.
