Generally perform best in full sun and well drained soil.  Water plants regularly until established.  Once established, coreopsis is very drought tolerant.

Genus Overview: Coreopsis

Common Name: Tickseed

Daisy-like flowers early summer-fall.   Many varieties are in the yellow to gold family; others are burgundy, pink, red, white. Foliage can be fine and feathery (c. verticillata) or more prominent and lance-like (c. grandiflora or c. hybrid)  Coreopsis is an excellent choice for garden beds, borders and containers.  A favorite due to its long bloom time, ease of growing and for being a pollinator magnet!
