Asteraceae
COREOPSIS verticillata
Threadleaf Coreopsis, Threadleaf Tickseed
This popular perennial is widely planted for a reason; it's easy to grow, colorful and draws many pollinators to the garden. Threadleaf tickseed is a clump-forming plant that slowly spreads by rhizomes. It is native to eastern North America and has very fine, threadlike foliage of medium green. Throughout summer, it puts forth many daisies of golden yellow that draw butterflies.
This sun-loving, heat-tolerant, hardy perennial prefers well drained, average soil. Threadleaf tickseed will continue blooming into fall if occasionally sheared back to remove spent flowers. In the landscape it looks super when planted in masses or mixed with ornamental grasses and other showy, sun-loving ornamentals.
