Transform your summer garden into a vibrant, sunny oasis with Coreopsis grandiflora, commonly known as Large-flowered Tickseed. A dazzling native perennial wildflower, it boasts bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, measuring 2-3 inches across, that dance atop slender, erect stems from late spring to late summer. This exceptional pollinator plant, thriving in USDA zones 4 to 9, is a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects, making it an ideal choice for creating a dynamic wildlife habitat.

Native to central and eastern North America, Large-flowered Tickseed flourishes in poor, sandy, or rocky soils under full sun, and exhibits remarkable tolerance to drought, heat, humidity, and even deer and rabbits. Its ability to self-seed and spread by rhizomes ensures a long-lasting presence in the garden, even if individual plants are short-lived.

Perfect for naturalizing in meadows, prairies, cottage gardens, or borders, this showstopper stands 18-30 inches tall with a spread of 12-18 inches. For continuous blooms, deadhead spent flowers and consider cutting back during summer to maintain its tidy appearance. Dive into the world of Coreopsis grandiflora and let its cheerful, golden blooms bring lasting color and joyful movement to your landscape.
