The flowers create a lovely contrast against the greenery, enhancing the overall beauty of the plant and making it a vibrant addition to any garden during these months.

Coreopsis provides vibrant flower colors, serves as effective erosion control, and works well as a container plant. While many varieties are drought-tolerant, this particular type should be grown in an area with partial shade and consistently moist soil. It's important to maintain adequate soil moisture, as this coreopsis variety is less resistant to dry conditions and requires more water to thrive.

American Dream, a native wildflower of North America, is particularly effective at attracting butterflies to pollinator gardens. However, unlike many other coreopsis species, this plant has limited drought tolerance and will need frequent watering to ensure its survival. Consistent moisture is essential for maintaining the health and vibrancy of this variety, making it a beautiful yet slightly more challenging choice for garden enthusiasts.

For planting Coreopsis rosea 'American Dream,' it is recommended to use 3 to 4 seeds per plant. Instead of covering the seeds with soil, gently press them into the soil surface to ensure they make proper contact. To allow each plant enough space to grow effectively, the suggested spacing between plants is 24 to 36 inches. Keep soil moist and at a temperature of at least 65 degrees. Under proper conditions, the seeds will germinate in 14-28 days. Once all danger of frost has passed, the established seedlings can be transplanted into the garden or pots. Adhering to these planting guidelines will help promote healthy growth and a successful garden display of this beautiful variety.

Coreopsis (Coreopsis Rosea American Dream) - Rosy-pink, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers cover the fine-textured foliage from summer to fall. A fine addition to perennial borders, xeriscape landscaping, or mixed containers. Spreads slowly by rhizomes and self-seeding to form an effective small-scale groundcover.
