'Whorled-Leaf Coreopsis' or 'Greater Tickseed' or 'Greater Coreopsis' or 'Forest Tickseed' Asteraceae.
Large, 2inch wide yellow daisy like flowers on 3 foot tall stems. The foliage is cut and finger like. Plants do well in dry soils in sun to part shade. Self seeds freely on open ground and spreads out to form clumps by way of underground runners, not weedy but plants can turn up in other parts of the garden if used in a mixed boarder. Can be utilized in a wild flower garden or prairie planting or in a open wooded setting. Under cultivastion plants are much more attractive than they are in the 'wild', growing into showy clumps with many flowers that are large for a Coreopsis. Blooms mid summer into late summer, dead head to prevent any unneeded self seeding and encourage re-blooming. If you have good rich soil- staking might be needed to keep plants from sprawling. .
Zones 5-9. Native to Eastern USA.
