- One of our favorite things about Coreopsis is how dependable they are in the garden. They are one of the best pollinator attractants and repeat blooming performers in a sunny perennial garden. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about the benefits of growing Coreopsis garden. They are easy to grow, clump-forming perennials that produce small to medium size, daisy-like flowers in various shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, bicolor, and mottled. Their foliage is bushy to basal, medium green, and can be fine, cut-leaf (Tickseed), or lobed and oblong. As with most perennials, we recommend fertilizing with @EspomaOrganic Plant-tone® and Iron-tone® to provide nutrients for overall plant health and to increase those showy blooms. Check out varieties like 'Tequila Sunrise', 'Golden Stardust', Creme Brulee', 'Golden Sphere', 'Route 66', 'Cruzin Broad Street', and 'Cruzin Main Street'.
Noelle, your killing me. It's 100 degrees here in Kansas and you have a jacket on. Get ready. It's coming your way.
I always get these cool crab spiders that live on my coreopsis and ambush any bees, butterflies, and moths that visit.
One of the flowers the groundhogs don't ruin. 👍🏻
I just bought 1 , I’m definitely going back to get 5 more
Great info! Bought a few Moonbeam coreopsis this year, love them!
Thanks for your knowledgeable & enthusiastic video. This is my first time growing (coreopsis zagreb tickseed) & looking forward to seeing flowers on the late spring bloomer in the garden. I was going to plant around the lamp post but they grow12-15 inches high so will find another home for them not too close to the walkway. Happy Gardening!
Thank you, very informative video!
I'll take 2 of each please ! So beautiful !
It was love at first sight for me...moonbeam! 😍 I brought mine from the clearance section and it needs to be nursed back to life. It has healthy looking blooms but they dont stand up, what should I do? Dead head? Fertilize it? Suggestions?
Sometimes too much fertilizer will make them flop. Gotta have full sun. Might consider sacrificing blooms to get roots established. Next year they'll be stronger.
I love coreapsis can you please tell me where I can order seeds thank you..
Was hoping you would mention what to do if the Coreopsis gets bulky at the bottom. I feel like mine are getting suffocated because the leafy areas are getting very very thick. What is the best way to trim or cut that back? I could send a pic if that would help? The flowers have actually lessened in numbers. Thank you.
It sounds like your Coreopsis needs to be divided. It's a bit late in the season to do this now, but next spring, when the plant greens up at the base you can dig the entire clump, divide & replant, or just dig out a section and transplant that. Dividing should invigorate the plant and get it to bloom better for you next season.
@@PetittiGardenCenters First Thank you so much for your quick reply....also thanks for the suggestion....Was wondering... meanwhile would it be good to try to cut away sections at the base?
Did I miss the part where you show how to dead head?
Could this be grown along water (lake) in rocky area along shore? I want to plant something for dragonflies to land on
Yes, the thin leaf, tickseeds varieties would work best in a sunny, well-drained area. They can not tolerate wet feet, so they can’t be grown in marginal or standing water areas.
The first growing season care is crucial, regular watering and fertilization will get them established and rooted deeply to insure their survival.
