🌿 Care Tips for Coreopsis ‘Cosmic Eye’
-
☀️ Light: Loves full sun! Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day for the happiest blooms.

💧 Water: Water regularly when newly planted. Once established, it’s pretty drought-tolerant. Let the soil dry out a bit between waterings—no soggy roots, please!
-
🌱 Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. Sandy or loamy soils work great.
-
🌸 Deadheading: Snip off spent flowers to keep the blooms coming all season long. It encourages more flowering and keeps the plant looking tidy.
-
✂️ Pruning: Give it a light trim in midsummer if it starts looking a little leggy—this helps it bounce back with fresh growth and more blooms.
-
🌡️ Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 5–9. In cooler zones, mulch around the base in late fall for winter protection.
