2:00 - lol, that's not Coreopsis, that's Cosmos. Plains Coreposis rocks because you get 1.5 million seeds per pound, which is about $12 on Everwilde. At that price, you get 15x more seed compared to any other pound of wildflowers, short of common poppies (which you get 3 million per pound $4.00) but I don't like white purple poppies, the bulb on them is big and ugly. Coreopsis you get a huge amount of flowers per plant, it blooms long, and the dual red and yellow flower is eye catching.
How well will tickseed compete against already established roadside grass? I'm planning on handseeding a lot of Coreopsis tinctoria in the center ditch of a roadside highway, but I'm wondering if it can compete against the grass.
Great video! Thanks for the advice.
