Additional Info
Grows easily and is low maintenance, making its long blooms attractive in borders and beds, and it naturalizes easily. It tolerates humidity well and some dry conditions, but it is not as drought tolerant as some other species of Coreopsis. Deadheading will encourage additional bloom.
Wildlife value: Provides nectar for pollinators. Songbirds eat the seed
