Tips
Pests & Diseases
Coreopsis may develop Botrytis, rust, powdery mildew, Rhizoctonia crown rot, or virus disease. Rust pustules and gray mold can be pruned away; mottled, distorted plants should be discarded rather than propagated. Avoid rich, wet soil, which creates soft growth and shortens the life of the crown.
Check coreopsis regularly for aphids, thrips, spider mites, Japanese beetles, slugs, and caterpillars. Inspect leaf undersides first, remove larger pests by hand, and avoid broad-spectrum sprays around open flowers.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Tall Coreopsis supplies pollen and nectar above the prairie’s lower-growing plants during summer and into fall. Its open flower heads are accessible to visiting pollinators, and mature seeds add another food resource. Leaving part of the stand uncut preserves seed heads and the tall structure of a meadow planting.
