Growing & Maintenance Tips for Coreopsis verticillata Sizzle & Spice® 'Sassy Saffron'

Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended dry periods—tolerates some drought once mature. For best flowering, avoid overly wet or heavy soils. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous blooming, or shear lightly mid-season for a flush of new growth. Fertilize sparingly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. This compact, hardy perennial offers bold, golden-yellow blooms with red centers, perfect for borders and pollinator gardens.
