Coreopsis Sun Splash
Coreopsis are sun-loving, low maintenance perennials with daisy-like flowers. They are drought
tolerant, long-blooming and happy to grow in poor, sandy or rocky soil. Coreopsis are commonly
known as tickseed, due to the unusual shape of their seed capsules
Coreopsis grandiflora and Coreopsis verticillata are native to North America and have yellow or gold
flowers. The foliage of coreopsis grandiflora is deeply-lobed and lance-like. Coreopsis verticillata has
fine, lacy foliage and is often referred to as threadleaf coreopsis. Both have a mounding growth habit
and reach a height of 1 to 2 feet
Care of Coreopsis
Care of coreopsis is simple once flowers are established. Deadhead spent blooms on growing
coreopsis often for the production of more flowers. Growing coreopsis may be cut back by one-third
in late summer for a continued display of blooms. As with many native plants, coreopsis care is
limited to occasional watering during extreme drought, along with the deadheading and trimming
described above. Fertilization of growing coreopsis is not needed, and too much fertilizer may limit
flower production.
