Lanceleaf: Native perennial wildflower. Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade. Very drought tolerant and thrives even in poor soils. Bright yellow, daisy-like flowers will bloom all summer. Give thought as to where you plant it, since it can spread enthusiastically. Often used in roadside plantings and prairie restorations. Commonly called tickseed coreopsis because the seeds (sort of) look like ticks. Easy to grow. 2’ height. Full sun, medium-dry to dry.
Plains: (Coreopsis tinctoria) Annual wildflower native to central U.S. Also known as calliopsis. A prodigious summer bloomer, it has finely cut leaves and vibrant yellow flowers with maroon centers. Excellent in large plantings. Naturalizes well, and will enthusiastically self-seed under optimal conditions.
Full sun, but will take partial shade. 2-4’ in height, 18” wide spacing. Low maintenance.
Dwarf Red Plains: (Coreopsis tinctoria) A dwarf variety of plains coreopsis with the added attraction of deep red flowers. This dainty little plant is covered in small, daisy-like flowers on slender stems. Tolerant of soggy soils. Will continue to bloom as long as adequate moisture is available. Annual, full to partial sun, medium water, 12-24” height.
