RE: Coreopsis

Hi everyone,

In could almost echo this very story.

I bought two coreopsis plants that were labeled "Baby Sun" (Latin names
unavailable).  I planted them in a new bed, deeply dug and enriched with
compost, manure, and mulch.  They are in full sun (slightly dappled
during the hottest hours, but in sun from about 9 AM to 8 PM) and get
regular water.  The foliage has increased greatly in size-- from a plant
about the size of a grapefruit to one the size of a beach ball-- but
I've only had a few blooms.

Suggestions??
