Care Instructions
Lanceleaf Coreopsis is relatively easy to care for. It prefers full sun and moderate temperatures. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry. It can tolerate a range of humidity levels but prefers moderate humidity. This plant is well-suited for outdoor gardens and does not typically thrive indoors.Soil
Coreopsis lanceolata prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the plant.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant in the spring and mid-summer to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Repotting
Repotting is generally not necessary for Coreopsis lanceolata, as it is typically grown outdoors. However, if grown in a container, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Repot in the early spring before new growth begins.Propagation
Coreopsis lanceolata can be propagated by seed or division. Sow seeds in the spring or fall, or divide mature plants in the spring. Ensure the divisions have several healthy shoots and roots before replanting.Pruning
Pruning is beneficial for Coreopsis lanceolata to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Cut back the plant in late fall after the first frost or in early spring before new growth starts.Toxicity
Coreopsis lanceolata is not toxic to pets or humans. It is a safe addition to gardens where children and pets may be present.Additional
Coreopsis lanceolata is a great choice for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to your garden. It is also deer-resistant, making it a good option for areas where deer browsing is a concern.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
