===== homeguides.sfgate.com/plant-weed-flower-bed-44583.html ===How to Plant a Weed Free Flower Bed 1) Hand-pull weeds and their roots from the flower bed before planting. 2) Alternatively, apply the nonselective herbicide glyphosate to the entire bed to kill everything growing in it. 3) In two weeks, till or hoe the soil about 4 to 6 inches deep. 4) At this time, add any amendments, such as weed-free compost, to the soil.

Plants are longer-lived than other coreopsis. - Sow seeds indoors in late winter, or outdoors in seedbed in midspring. Move to garden when frost danger has passed. - Make cuttings in spring. ===Maintenance and care: - Deadhead older plants to prolong bloom. (First-year plants may flower all season without deadheading.) May self-seed, but usually not aggressively. Deadhead if you want to prevent reseeding. - Cut back in late summer to encourage fall bloom. Spent flowers from fall bloom can be left on plants for winter interest. Then cut plants back in early spring. - Divide plants every 2 to 3 years in the spring or fall. Plants are longer-lived and spread more aggressively than other coreopsis. - More growing information: How to Grow Perennials ===Pests: - Slugs and snails - Aphids - Flea beetles - Striped and/or spotted cucumber beetles - Potato aphid ===Diseases: - Powdery mildew - Botrytis blight - Bacterial and fungal leaf spots - Root and/or crown rots - Downy mildew - Aster yellows -----Site Characteristics for: Threadleaf Coreopsis ===Sunlight: - full sun - part shade - Prefers full sun. ===Soil conditions: - tolerates droughty soil - requires well-drained soil - requires high fertility ===Hardiness zones: - 3 to 9 -----Plant Traits for: Threadleaf Coreopsis ===Lifecycle: perennial ===Ease-of-care: easy ===Height: 1.5 to 2.5 feet ===Spread: 1 to 1.5 feet ===Bloom time: - early summer - mid-summer - late summer - early fall -----Special Considerations for: Threadleaf Coreopsis ===Special characteristics: - deer resistant - non-aggressive - May self-seed.
