Abstract
Researches container production protocols for Coreopsis floridana. Specifically, the article discusses the seed sowing date, seedling fertilization rate, potting date, container size, and container fertilizer rate. Container size generally did not affect plant height. Shipping dates varied by only 18 days even though there was a four month range in seeding and potting dates. This suggests that production costs can be reduced by seeding in May, potting in June, and applying the lowest fertilizer level.Suggested Citation
