Believe that many people cannot quickly distinguish coreopsis and chamomile golden when they see them. The main reason is that their morphological characteristics and the golden flowers after blooming make people unable to tell them apart. So, how can we quickly distinguish coreopsis and chamomile golden that are often planted in parks and courtyards everywhere? Let's have an in-depth understanding in the following.
Coreopsis and chamomile golden are both common ornamental flowers. Although they both belong to the Asteraceae family, there are some differences in genus, growth habits, flowering period and uses. In terms of genus, coreopsis belongs to the Coreopsis genus. The height of the flower is usually much higher than that of chamomile golden. The plant height is about 60-80 centimeters. While chamomile golden belongs to the Euryops genus. In comparison, it will be slightly shorter, only about 20-45 centimeters.
Secondly, there is also a large time difference in the flowering period. The flowering period of coreopsis is relatively long, so the flowers will be relatively large. The inside of the flower has a yellow base with purple. If properly maintained daily, it can last from April in spring to October in autumn. Chamomile golden only blooms once a year. The petals and flowers are relatively small. If properly maintained, the flowering period is only about 3 months (from August to October).
Then, in terms of growth habits, coreopsis is relatively easy to grow. It is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, has strong adaptability, and is not strict with soil requirements. Ordinary garden soil is fine. While chamomile golden is relatively delicate. Its soil requirements prefer a neutral or slightly alkaline environment. It can be well-cultivated only when placed in a place with sufficient sunlight. In terms of value and use, the medicinal value of chamomile golden is higher than that of coreopsis, because coreopsis only has an ornamental function.
Finally, regarding the amount of seeds planted, there is also a difference between coreopsis and chamomile golden. The survival rate of chamomile golden after sowing seeds will be higher than that of coreopsis. Looking closely, the sowing amount per mu is about 4-6 catties for coreopsis and 3-5 catties for chamomile golden. These differences may make them different in horticultural application and cultivation management.
In general, if flower lovers want to try to grow one of these two flowers, it is recommended to grow coreopsis. In addition, it is also called small cosmos. It belongs to a perennial perennial herb. At the same time, it has a long flowering period and a large degree of openness, and is easy to cultivate and reproduce.
