Lance Leaf Coreopsis, also known as Tickseed, is a popular flowering plant that is easy to grow and maintain. Here are some steps to help you grow healthy Lance Leaf Coreopsis:
-
Choose the right location: Coreopsis thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Choose a spot with well-draining soil that is not too wet.
-
Prepare the soil: Before planting, prepare the soil by adding organic matter such as compost or aged manure. Coreopsis prefers soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH of 6.0 to 7.5).
-
Planting: Sow the seeds directly into the soil in early spring or late fall. You can also plant seedlings purchased from a nursery. Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart.
-
Watering: Water the plants regularly but avoid over-watering. Coreopsis is drought-tolerant and can withstand dry spells.
-
Fertilization: Coreopsis does not require much fertilization, but you can apply a balanced fertilizer once a year in early spring.
-
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote new growth and prolong the flowering season.
-
Pest and Disease Control: Coreopsis is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but you should keep an eye out for aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or a horticultural oil.
