Coreopsis

Coreopsis spp., commonly known as tickseed, is the official wildflower of Florida. This plant is cheerful flowering perennial valued for its bright, daisy-like blooms and long flowering season. Flowers are most commonly yellow but are also available in shades of red, pink, orange, and bi-colors. Its low-maintenance nature and ability to attract butterflies make it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering; cut back after blooming if needed to refresh growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring; avoid excessive fertilization
