1000+ Dwarf Plains Coreopsis Edible Medicinal Wildflower Seeds | Native Tickseed

July 8, 2026

1000+ Dwarf Plains Coreopsis Edible Medicinal Wildflower Seeds | (Coreopsis Tinctoria, Dwarf) Deer-Resistant “Tickseed” Flower SeedsTested on 1-06-2023, 84% Germ. Grow Zones: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 Other names: Golden Tickseed The best choice for a wildflower that has it all is Plains Coreopsis. Beauty, function, easy-to-grow, medicinal uses, beneficial insect pollination, deer resistance and it grows in all climates… Featuring blossoms of red and yellow, this native flower will grow in low nutrient soil and thrive! This is a Dwarf Coreopsis wildflower, so it grows lower to the ground. Throughout history, the emetic qualities of the roots were used in medicine. Roots were boiled into a tea for diarrhea. The whole plant was boiled to make a drink for internal pains and bleeding. The non-toxic, dried tops in a tea are said to strengthen blood & make for an excellent coffee substitute. The entire flower is edible. Plains Coreopsis grows best in full sun. Germination instructions: These seeds need sunlight to germinate. Likewise, after preparing the ground by loosening the soil, sprinkle the seeds overtop without covering them. Press them just a bit so that they will stay put but do not bury into darkness when watering. Keep the seeds and soil moist throughout the germination phase. Germination time takes up to 30 days. Enjoy next day handling time and shipping via USPS First Class.
