Thank you. Great video. I'm in Texas so not all is applicable but I really appreciate the information.

Which varieties of coreopsis are most likely to come back every year?

[@RobertKaucher]

I live in the the Loamy High Lime Till Plains of western Ohio and lanceleaf has been super successful even in areas that get part sun. 5-6 hours. They've been there for 3 years now.

Tall coreopsis and threadleaf coreopsis. Lanceleaf coreopsis will reseed well.
