Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This coreopsis needs full sun to produce its richest deep red color and densest flower coverage. Aim for at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. While it can handle light afternoon shade in very hot climates, you may see fewer blooms and slightly weaker stems.
Soil: It thrives in well drained soil that is not overly rich. If you have heavy clay, mix in some organic compost or plant in a raised bed to prevent soggy roots. For sandy soil, a light layer of mulch helps retain just enough moisture to keep the plant happy without it becoming waterlogged.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Red Satin Coreopsis twice a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once the plant is established, it becomes quite drought tolerant and usually only needs supplemental water during long dry spells. If you let the soil dry out completely for too long, the plant will produce fewer flowers and the foliage may start to look scorched.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so the best time to prune is in early spring before fresh growth begins. Use sharp shears to cut the stems back to about 3 or 4 inches above the ground to encourage a flush of healthy new stems. You can also give the plant a light "haircut" after the first heavy flush of flowers in midsummer to stimulate a second round of blooms for the autumn.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer once in early spring as the new green growth appears. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this forces soft new growth that can be easily damaged by the first winter frost. A light application of compost around the base of the plant once a year is usually all it needs to stay productive and vibrant.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.
