Coreopsis tinctoria was very easy to start by seed, direct, but it is an
annual in my garden (6b). Anyone know what level it is a perennial at? It
reseeded well too, enough to give away to friends.
It was a nice plant, all who came through the garden commented on it.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
