Coreopsis (Tickseed) is considered by many gardeners to be one of the best native wildflowers for use in the garden. Butterflies love them.
Coreopsis typically bloom daisy like flowers all summer and into the fall. They are known for their long bloom season.
The foliage of most Coreopsis is green, with fern-like look. Generally the foliage is a nice clump below the flowers which are lifted up above the foliage on long, wiry stems.
Coreopsis are very easy to grow and will tolerate any soil except waterlogged soil. Full sun is preferred for prolific blooms. Fertilize lightly with Neptune’s Harvest.
Dig up your Coreopsis every three years or so to divide in the fall after blooming or in the early spring. Deadheading encourages prolific blooming.
The drought-tolerant nature of the Coreopsis makes it a great plant for container gardens or near the road or mailbox where it won't get watered everyday. When used as a cut flower, Coreopsis blooms last a long time in water.
Our Coreopsis Tickseed plants have larger, healthier root systems because they are grown in larger pots.
