threadleaf coreopsis

Threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Golden Dream') requires 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week in the growing season. Water the plant in the mornings, giving it a thorough soaking. Avoid any sprinklers or overhead watering, as this will cause water to evaporate quickly and wet the foliage, leading to disease. During periods of extreme heat or drought, you may need to water more frequently. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the winter months, water only enough to keep the soil slightly damp.

Threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Golden Dream') is a plant species that thrives in full sun. It should ideally receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. It grows best in temperatures between 55°F and 95°F and should be planted in well-draining soil in a sunny location with plenty of air circulation. Ideally, the sunlight hours should be as consistent as possible. If the plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will become tall and lanky, as well as produce fewer flowers.

Golden Dream Threadleaf Coreopsis plants should be pruned regularly throughout the growing season. Pruning is best done in early spring when new growth starts to appear. This will help promote new growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy and unkempt. To prune, simply remove spent blooms as they fade and pinch off the tips of any stems that appear leggy or overcrowded. Deadheading spent blooms will also prevent the plant from spreading aggressively. Depending on your garden, the pruning process may need to be repeated several times throughout the summer.
