'Lights of Morden' Coreopsis Mix (Coreopsis lanceolata) - Another floral gem grown by Emil & Elsie Byrka of Morden, Manitoba. This Coreopsis variety, also a perennial, has typical golden blooms and some with a sun-burned red ring wrapping around the inner petals.

Growing Information:
Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Press seeds onto the soil surface, do not cover as light aids germination. Keep moist at 18–21°C. Germination: 20–30 days. Harden off and transplant after frost, spacing 30–40 cm apart. Can also be directly sown outdoors after soil warms, or in late fall for natural overwintering and spring germination. Grow in full sun and well-drained soil.
