Coreopsis gladiata

 

Coastal Plain Tickseed is a deciduous perennial in the Asteraceae family. Bright yellow rays
surround a purplish brown disk in summer, but it can bloom longer. Full sun to part shade is this plant’s preference, making it good for a meadow or sunny location. Naturally occurring in
wetlands, this species would do well by a pond or river, or anywhere with sandy wet soil. The
nectar of Coastal Plain Tickseed is enjoyed by bees and butterflies alike and songbirds love
eating the seeds, too!
