Double The Sun Coreopsis Plant

Brighten your garden with Double The Sun Coreopsis, a delightful perennial that showcases vibrant, cheerful blooms throughout the season.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun for at least six hours a day. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, gently placing the plant in the hole and covering it with soil to the original soil line. Water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Water the plant deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions. Once established, it is tolerant of average to dry soils, so you won't need to overwater.

3. Pruning: To encourage more blooms, deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season. In late fall, cut back the stems to about 4 inches to prepare for winter dormancy. This helps stimulate fresh growth in spring.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins to emerge. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they can lead to more foliage than flowers.
