Coreopsis has been growing for decades here in the Garden. It seeds so readily that we tend to ignore the seeds and just dig up seedlings. Although it 'grows like a weed' for us, it is not necessarily a nice garden plant. It must be in well drained soil and then kept near bone dry in summer and probably doesn't tolerate frost. My wife objects to having a dead looking plant in the yard for much of the year.
