I have had Coreopsis American Dream in my garden for at least the last 3 or 4 years. Hardiness should not be an issue. I don't find much, if any difference, between American Dream and C rosea. Mine are mixed together, since when I went looking for more rosea all I could find was AD. Now I can't tell them apart. I just wanted to warn you about a couple of things. First, you should know that these are slight plants, fine foliaged & fairly short, with pale-ish small pink blooms (a little on the blue-pink side) that do not make a big visual impact in the garden - definitely filler plants & not at all similar to Sweet Dreams or Limerock. They are also very slow risers that do not bloom until mid summer in my zone 5 garden, but they continue blooming until mid-fall. They spread around rather gently for me, despite the fact that the tag on AD said to USE A BARRIER. Mine are planted in an odd-shaped little area between a fence covered with vines and a concrete pad, in a high part of my yard (thus drier & better draining than the rest) on very heavy clay soil with only a few inches of some poor fill dirt and duff. These coreopsis are supposed to tolerate moister soil than most coreopsis. I thought planting them in this kind of location would keep them under control and it has done so for 10 years (when the c. rosea were first planted there). I have them interplanted with Allium unifolium, a short spring blooming allium with a similar color and bloom. Once the allium has bloomed it's folliage dies down quickly and the space is taken over by the Coreopsis. Knautia macedonica (small burgandy blooms on taller waving stems over weedy looking basal foliage) has also seeded itself into the area, despite the fact that Knautia likes it on the dry side and C rosea and Sweet Dreams like moisture. Both the allium (especially the allium) and knautia seem much more aggressive than the coreopsis, but the trio work well together in this spot.

I have some 3' tall white ones- not sure of the variety name. They're still in bloom now. I also have some out front- that have long since passed. How would I collect the seeds from them?
