Coreopsis major (Whorled-leaf Tickseed)

Sun to Part SunZone: 5-8 36" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! From NY south to FL, you are liable to run across Coreopsis major in open dry woodlands. So, why is it not grown in everyone's garden? Probably because it looks like crap (pardon my French) in the woods. Put a plant in full sun, and it becomes a killer perennial. The spreading rootstock makes a 5' clump in 5 years of sturdy, 3' tall stems clothed in whorled green leaves. From late spring through midsummer, the drought-tolerant clumps are topped with 2" yellow daisies...simply superb! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
