Coreopsis-Also called Tickseed. These are great plants very easy to grow. Different shades of yellow, some have a little red or maroon with the yellow. Coreopsis likes ordinary soil, some like soil rich in leaf mould. They grow in heights of 16-80 inches and like sun.
The coreopsis plant is covered with yellow daisy like flowers the whole summer long. The seeds of this plant are a favorite of birds in the fall. I read somewhere not to remove the dead foliage until spring. Along with my grasses this is one plant I do not cut back in the fall.
I have a thread leaf coreopsis that is drought resistant. It has a mass of small yellow flowers on top of a fern-like foliage that blooms the whole summer.
