watering
Threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam') should be watered deeply once every 7-10 days. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not soggy. Water at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent disease. Watering in the morning allows the plant to dry off during the day. During the hot summer months, additional water may be required. It's important to monitor the soil moisture, as too little or too much water can both cause damage to the plant.
sunlight
Threadleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam') prefers full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimum growth and flowering. It can tolerate some shade, but will not bloom as well without the sun. If planting these flowers in a spot with dappled sunlight or deep shade, choose a different variety of Coreopsis. This plant also enjoys some afternoon shade in particularly hot, dry climates.
pruning
Threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam') should be pruned once a year in the spring. After it has finished flowering, cut the stems down to about 6 inches high. If some stems become brown and die, they can be cut back in the summer, as well as any shoots that have sprouted in the center of the plant. To keep it from becoming straggly, prune it again in the fall, cutting down the stems to about 3 inches.
