    Have yet to have any success with these. I had some tiny sprouts initially but they grew an inch or two and then died off.

    It does get powdery mildew in humid climates. I garden in NC mountains, zone 7a.

    I have a hill that is too steep to mow so I used the Coreopsis to cover it and it was an amazing display. I planted the seeds right on top of weeds and grass but the Coreopsis prevailed! Thanks!
