Coreopsis

Overview

A Missouri native wildflower which typically grows to 2' tall and occurs in prairies, glades, fields and roadsides primarily in the Ozark region of the State.

Water

New coreopsis plants need regular water to keep the soil evenly moist (but not soggy) until they are established. Once established, they have good drought tolerance.

Light

Needs full sun, so plant them where they will receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day.

Soil

Coreopsis grows best in well drained, moderately moist soils. It will grow in sandy or loamy soil, or even clay, and acidic or slightly alkaline soil, though the ideal pH should be between 5.5 and 6.5.
