Height: 4-6 ft.
plant sale text: The cheerful yellow flowers of this coreopsis are very similar to others in the genus. The striking difference is in the size of the plant. Tall tickseed reaches heights of six feet. This, in combination with its abundant flowers and long bloom time, makes it a great plant in the late summer garden. As the petals drop and the seeds begin to ripen, it becomes a hassle-free bird feeder as well. Try planting Tall tickseed in a perennial border or meadow garden.
bloom table text: This is a native Coreopsis usually found along the borders of woods and fields. It reaches a towering height of 7-10 feet and has numerous dark-centered, single, yellow flowers in late summer. The flowers also have a faint anise scent. This striking beauty is found from Ontario to Wisconsin, south to Florida and Louisiana, and west to Kansas.
