tickseed

Tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora SUN UP) should be watered about once a week during the hottest parts of summer. Water deeply and allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. During the spring and fall, watering frequency can be reduced to about every 10 days or so, and in winter the plant can be allowed to become slightly dryer in between waterings. For optimal health, it's important to keep the soil evenly moist, never too wet or too dry.

Tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora SUNUP) does best when it’s planted in an area that gets at least 6-7 hours of full sun each day, preferably during the morning hours. This will help ensure that the plant remains healthy and blooms throughout the summer season. It can also tolerate some afternoon shade, but it won’t perform as well in this condition. To achieve the best results, try to place it in an area with an even distribution of sun throughout the day.

Hardiness zone 4–9.

Tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora SUN UP) is best pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages a bushier shape with plenty of flowers and controls a plant's height. Pruning should remove about 1-third of the plant's stem length and remove any dead, broken, crossing, or otherwise damaged stems. Deadheading should also be done throughout the growing season to encourage additional flowers.
