watering
Lanceleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) should be watered at least once a week, in the mornings or the evenings. The soil should remain moist but not soggy. Over-watering should be avoided. During periods of drought, water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. During hot summer months, water twice a week, making sure that the soil is not so dry that it has started to crack.
sunlight
Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) grows best in full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Although it can tolerate some shade, its flower production and flowering season will be diminished when planted in those conditions. Ideally, it should receive its sunlight early in the morning and late in the afternoon, avoiding direct exposure to the hottest portions of the day. This will help the plant to stay cool, remain hydrated and ensure it receives sufficient light for flowering.
pruning
Pruning for lanceleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) should occur during late winter/early spring after the last frost. Prune back the plant to approximately 6" above the soil line to encourage new growth and promote a bushier, fuller plant. The additional pruning can be done as the plant is in full bloom to help shape the plant and encourage re-blooming. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and cut back any overly long stems or seedpods. It is recommended to prune no more than 1-third of the plant at a time, and not to cut any stems shorter than 6" to avoid damaging the plant.
