Lobed Coreopsis

General Description

Lobed tickseed is a tall, perennial that spreads slowly by rhizomes. This native of the southeastern United States has soft, medium green foliage and puts forth tall stems topped with single golden daisies in early to midsummer. Bloom time will be extended if spent flowers are removed. This heat tolerant perennial does best in sites with full sun and fertile soil. They are well suited to wildflower gardens and informal perennial borders.
