Drought tolerance of Coreopsis

Coreopsis L.

Coreopsis is a drought-tolerant crop that requires moderate watering only after the establishment phase, while excessive moisture poses a greater threat to the plant than a lack of water.

In the reference 16 varieties crop Tickseed, where this is mentioned in the description.

The drought tolerance of Coreopsis is fully manifested after the plant's adaptation period is complete. Prior to this stage, the soil requires moderate moisture levels; however, the crop subsequently demonstrates high tolerance to water deficit, preferring conditions that preclude waterlogging.

There is distinct genotypic variability within the genus: species such as Coreopsis drummondii possess increased drought resistance and low water requirements, while Coreopsis grandiflora, Coreopsis lanceolata, and Coreopsis tinctoria exhibit a higher dependency on precipitation regimes.
