Coreopsis

Tickseed

Coreopsis, commonly known as Tickseed, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. These beautiful and hardy plants are native to North and South America and are known for their bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom throughout the summer months.

Coreopsis plants are herbaceous perennials that grow to a height of around 1-3 feet, depending on the species. The leaves of Coreopsis plants are typically lance-shaped or lobed and are arranged alternately along the stem. The flowers of Coreopsis are generally yellow or gold, with a central disk surrounded by a ring of petals. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Coreopsis plants are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for beginner gardeners. They are commonly used both as cut flowers and in floral arrangements. The plants prefer full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. They are drought-tolerant and can thrive in various soil types: sandy, loamy, and clay. Coreopsis plants should be watered regularly, especially during periods of drought, and dead-headed periodically to encourage continued blooming.

One of the most popular species of Coreopsis is Coreopsis grandiflora, which is a native of the southeastern United States. This plant has large, golden-yellow flowers that bloom from late spring to early fall. It is commonly grown in gardens and borders and is esteemed for its long blooming period and its ability to attract pollinators.

Another popular species of Coreopsis is Coreopsis verticillata, a native of North America. This plant has small, bright yellow flowers that bloom from early summer to fall. It is commonly grown in rock gardens and borders and is prized for its delicate appearance and long blooming period.
