Coreopsis is a native of the plains and is often referred to as tickseed. While some might call this a weed because of its native properties, this perennial is truly a stunning one. The varieties and colors which Coreopsis provides is vast and vibrant. Because of this, it is hard to define the plant structure in any one instance. Most, however, sport small foliage and often are compared to threadleaf or lanceolate shaped leaves on wispy bright green stems.

The blooms of this perennial are the true variation of the plant. Stark contrasting colors are often seen among their solid hued relatives. These or all combined make a truly amazing show in perennial beds or containers. This summer to fall bloomer is sure to never disappoint.
