Native to the Americas, vibrant Coreopsis plants attract pollinators with colorful blooms. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, they thrive in sunny spots.
Perennial coreopsis thrives in full sun, enhancing their vibrant hues and ensuring prolific blooms. Some shade is tolerated but may result in fewer blooms.
Coreopsis thrives in various soil types, including poor soil. Adding compost enhances growth, while peat moss or perlite improves drainage in clay soil.
Coreopsis thrives in well-draining soil and prefers consistent moisture but is drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering to prevent soil issues.
Perennial coreopsis, low-maintenance with moderate growth, benefits from light fertilization in early summer post-frost for lush foliage and blooms. Avoid overfeeding.
Pruning perennial coreopsis is vital for tidiness and encouraging more blooms. Deadhead regularly and cut back clumps in early fall, leaving some foliage for overwintering.
Prepare perennial coreopsis for winter by trimming foliage, adding peat moss/compost for insulation, and ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
