Tall Tickseed, Tall Coreopsis
Bold and architectural, Coreopsis tripteris (Tall Tickseed) is a tall herbaceous perennial boasting a profusion of daisy-like, bright yellow flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with flat brown center disks. Blooming from midsummer to fall, each long-lasting blossom features 8 yellow rays rounded at their tips. They are borne singly atop sturdy, erect stems clad with anise-scented leaves divided into 3 long, narrow lobes. Rich in nectar, the flowers attract many pollinators and its fall and winter seeds are devoured by songbirds. Tall Tickseed may turn shades of orange to burnt red in the fall. Tolerant of heat, humidity and drought, this United States native is a reliable performer. Perfect for wildflower gardens, prairies and meadows. Nice in a vase too!
