tickseed

For Tickseed plants, it is best to water once a week, providing enough water to moisten the soil but not to the point of saturation. The amount of water will depend largely on your climate and the prevailing weather pattern. During normal summer weather, 1-2 inches of water every 7-10 days should be enough, while in hotter summer weather, 2-3 inches may be required. Throughout the winter, water once a month and up to twice a month, but use only minimal amounts. Once the plant stops blooming, decrease watering even further and make sure the soil is completely dry before watering again.

Tickseed (Coreopsis SOLANNA GOLDEN SPHERE) prefer plenty of sunlight throughout the day. For best growth and flowering, it is best to provide about 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They will tolerate a partially shaded spot, but hours of direct sunlight must be minimal to keep the plant healthy and robust. If you have limited sunlight, you can place the plants near a south, east or west facing window or in a shady corner. This will allow them to receive enough sunlight throughout the day.

Hardiness zone 5–9.

Tickseed (Coreopsis Solanna Golden Sphere) should be pruned once a year in late winter or early spring before the plant begins to form buds and before new growth has begun. Prune it lightly by removing dead or dying branches and stems and cutting the remaining foliage back by about a third. This will encourage fuller growth and a bushier plant. Be sure to check the soil moisture often and water if needed. Pruning away some of the diseased branches and leaves can also reduce the risk of disease and pest infestations.
