tickseed

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Tequila Sunrise') should be watered frequently, about once every 2-3 days. The soil should be kept slightly moist at all times and never allowed to dry out completely. During the summer and hot months, water may need to be applied daily, or even twice daily, depending on the temperature and humidity. In cooler or rainy months, watering can be reduced to about once a week. Be sure to water the plant deeply but not overly saturate it. Allow the surface of the soil to dry out to the touch before watering again.

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Tequila Sunrise') grows best in full sun, with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order for the plant to thrive. It's important to note that the sunniest part of the day for this plant is between 10am and 4pm when the sun is at its highest point. This is because tickseed tends to do best when it has the strongest direct light during the day. During the hottest months of the summer, though, some shade may be necessary to prevent the plant from scorching. It's essential to make sure that the tickseed is receiving the optimal amount of sunlight and if necessary, adjusting the hours of sun accordingly.

Hardiness zone 5–9.

Tickseed (Coreopsis 'Tequila Sunrise') responds best to light pruning twice a year. Prune this perennial in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. This will help shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. After the plant blooms during the summer, lightly trim it back to encourage a second bloom in late summer. If required, more thorough pruning can also be done after blooming.
