Coreopsis 'Sunkiss' - Plug Plants - Marshalls Garden

Plug plants are best transplanted after the last frost has passed in your area, typically late spring. Allow them to establish in pots indoors or in a sheltered spot for a few weeks before planting into their final outdoor location.

Deadheading can be done as soon as flowers begin to fade. Regularly removing spent blooms by pinching or snipping them off just above a set of leaves will encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the season.

Yes, its compact and bushy habit makes it ideal for growing in pots, containers, and hanging baskets, provided they have adequate drainage holes and are filled with well-draining compost.

Coreopsis 'Sunkiss' prefers well-drained soil. It is tolerant of a range of soil types but will perform best when water does not stagnate around the roots. Improving heavy soils with organic matter or grit is recommended.

Coreopsis 'Sunkiss' is a hardy perennial, meaning it is generally expected to survive the winter outdoors in many climates, especially when mulched or protected in colder regions. It will typically die back to the ground and regrow in spring.

Coreopsis 'Sunkiss' typically grows to a compact height of around 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), with a similar spread, forming a bushy mound.

Ensure the plants are adequately watered and have not been planted too deep. Wilting can occur due to transplant shock; consistent moisture and avoiding direct, harsh sun for the first few days can help recovery.

Ensure the plant is receiving sufficient sunlight (at least 6 hours daily). Check if deadheading has been consistently performed. Soil that is too rich or over-fertilized can also promote foliage growth over flowering.

This can indicate overwatering or poor soil drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and ensure the planting location has good drainage. Amend heavy soil with grit if necessary.

Inspect plants regularly. Aphids can often be washed off with a strong jet of water or treated with insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
