Tall Coreopsis
Coreopsis tripteris
Tall Coreopsis, also known as Tall Tickseed, is a standout with its lofty height and vibrant yellow blooms that appear from mid-summer into fall. Its slender stems topped with cheerful flowers not only add a splash of color but also attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and bees. The plant's substantial height makes it an excellent choice for the rear of a flower bed or as part of a meadow planting, where it can provide structure and visual interest.

Maintenance Tips
- Cut back in late fall or early spring to encourage vigorous new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
- Deadhead spent flowers to extend bloom time and limit self seeding.
- Divide clumps every few years in early spring to rejuvenate and propagate the plant.
- Allow seedlings to fill in for more dense displays or remove them to control spread in formal garden settings.
