Coreopsis, Plains

Coreopsis tinctora

Profusely flowering, plains coreopsis gives off loads of painted burgundy and yellow flowers. Plants reach about 3 ft. tall and add a lot of color and texture to the garden landscape. Easy to grow and somewhat drought tolerant, plains coreopsis is widely adapted and would grow well just about anywhere and in most soil types.
