Transplanting Coreopsis
You can propagate new plants by transplanting perennial Coreopsis. On a healthy mound of Coreopsis find a clump of leaves that you can divide safely and will leave enough on the original plant to survive. As you look at the plant you will notice that there are areas that are better to divide than others. Cut through the area that you have determined would be best, making sure to dig down far enough to get good roots. Plant in new location and give it tender loving care by keeping it watered and shaded if need be until it looks like it has taken hold of its new location. Transplanting is best to do during the fall when the weather turns a little cooler.
