A native of the North American prairies, it produces a dazzling display of daisy-like blooms in a rich mix of golden yellow, burnt orange, deep mahogany, and bicoloured combinations — each flower typically featuring a bold dark centre or banded markings that give the whole planting a warm, jewel-like intensity. Sow generously and stand back — this one puts on a show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌟 \u003cstrong\u003eRich mix of golden yellow, orange, mahogany, and bicolours\u003c\/strong\u003e — vivid, jewel-toned blooms with bold dark markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌾 \u003cstrong\u003eWonderful wildflower meadow plant\u003c\/strong\u003e — perfect for naturalising, mass planting, and informal borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eGood cut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — long wiry stems and long-lasting blooms in the vase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eOutstanding for bees and butterflies\u003c\/strong\u003e — a magnet for pollinators from summer through autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eExtremely easy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — direct sow, largely self-sufficient, and will self-seed freely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect sow in autumn for spring flowering, or in spring once soil has warmed for summer blooms. Scatter seeds thinly on the surface of well-drained soil in a sunny position and rake in lightly — do not cover deeply as seeds need light to germinate. Thin to 20–25 cm apart. Coreopsis tinctoria thrives in poor to average soils and is drought tolerant once established — avoid overfeeding. Deadhead regularly to extend flowering. Self-seeds freely and will often naturalise in the garden. Performs beautifully throughout NZ in any sunny, open position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e25 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Coreopsis tinctoria Mix, a blend of mixed colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45030890504261,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_d8ad48d9-c284-4c40-a611-5ee4f6f87700.png?v=1780790751","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/coreopsis-tinctoria-mix-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
