I got my first bloom today and they aren’t red. They are yellow with red centers. So disappointed.

I just got a bloom on my tall red coreopsis that I purchased the seed for because they are red. They aren’t red at all! They are yellow with red in the center. I’m so disappointed as I’m growing red flowers to attract hummingbirds. All that work and then disappointment is not what I envisioned.

These germinated well and were very easy to grow! However they are not red at all. Unfortunately, these will not work for the wedding flowers that I am growing these for. There’s no yellow in the bride’s colors. Now I have to start all over again.

These are not red at all - they look exactly like regular plains coreopsis (which eden brothers also sells). Very disappointed because I spent so much time building chickenwire fences to keep the rabbits out, watering, weeding etc and I don't think they are very pretty.

These are Plains Coreopsis, aka Yellow, not red at all. Based on the other remarks below in years past, your supplier is still providing you and me with the wrong seeds. I will now always read the remarks!

I grew these from seed last season. Good seed germination produced healthy plants. These are "Plains" coreopsis so they have smaller flowers, 1-2 inch.
