Plant Coreopsis in full sun, at least 6 hours of good sun a day. Although not fussy about soil, they perform best in soil that has been amended with organic matter. Coreopsis are tolerant of drought but will bloom best with consistent moisture. Keep new plants well-watered until they are established.
