Threadleaf Coreopsis

Easily grown in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Thrives in poor, sandy or rocky soils with good drainage. Tolerant of heat, humidity and drought. Prompt deadheading encourages additional bloom and prevents self-seeding. In ideal conditions may spread aggressively in the garden by both rhizomes and self-seeding.
