tickseed

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby') should be watered when the top 1-2 inches of soil becomes dry. The frequency of watering will depend on the temperature and amount of rainfall in your area, but in general water every 1-2 weeks when temperatures are warm. During the hot summer months, water every 7-10 days. During the cooler months, decrease watering frequency but increase the amount of water applied at each watering. Make sure to water deeply to help encourage deep root growth and to avoid shallow and stunted roots.

The tickseed plant (Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby') thrives in areas that receive full or partial sunlight. For best results, this plant requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If it is placed in areas with lighter shade, such as a spot with bright indirect light, the plant may not flower. During the hottest parts of the day, from 10 am to 4 pm, the tickseed should receive full sun for optimum growth. It is important to remember that the intensity of the sunlight a plant receives can vary based on the time of day, the season, and the region in which it is located.

Hardiness zone 8–9.

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby') is a hardy sun-loving perennial that should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done lightly, removing just a few of the oldest, most bloom-less stems. The plant can also be trimmed during the growing season to remove dead flowers, fading foliage, and encourage bushier, more compact growth. It is best to avoid drastic pruning, as this may over-stress the plant.
