tickseed

Tickseed plants should be watered deeply enough for the water to reach the entire root system. This is especially important in summer when the plant is actively growing. Water Tickseeds every other day or as needed to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. In late autumn reduce the watering to about once a week. Keep the soil evenly moist as long as temperatures remain above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. During the winter months, Tickseed should be watered only occasionally and soil kept slightly damp. When you do water, thoroughly soak the soil to a depth of about 8 inches.

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Sienna Sunset') should receive full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day. This will help to ensure that the plant grows strong and blooms well. If the plant is in a sunny location, it is important to keep in mind that direct midday sun may be too hot for the plant, so some partial shade during the hottest part of the day is recommended. In all other cases, the plant will enjoy full sun for the best possible growth.

Hardiness zone 5–9.

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Sienna Sunset') should be pruned once a year, typically in late winter or early spring, before the leaves begin to appear. Cut off any dead or dead-looking stems at the base of the plant. If the plants are becoming overgrown, they can be cut back up to 2 thirds of their original height to encourage bushiness. Avoid pruning later in the season as this can lower the number of flowers the plant produces.
