Pistil - thanks for tips to keep coreopsis standing tall. I have some of the peony cages I should give that a try. I have waited until these coreoopsis were done blooming before and cut them back about half way. Guess I should cut them back to the ground this year after they bloom and give that a try (like you mentioned) - I'm sure it would not hurt them.. Some of them had gotten so floppy, I weedeated them the other day, so I could mow around the bed.

I could also use a suggestion on some other plant(s) to wedge the coreopsis in the middle of, that might cause them to have to stand up.... These coreopsis, that I have, are at least 48" tall and here is how they flop.
