Do not leave out COREOPSIS tripteris - "Atlantic Coreopsis" A tall erect growing plant with branched stems and three palmate leaves.
Blooming from mid summer to early fall with 2" wide soft golden yellow flowers turning brown or purplish. Forms clumps by rhizomes. (
stems that spread out under ground) Plants grow 4- 8+ feet tall and 24" wide. Native to Michigan to Iowa and Louisiana to
Pennsylvania. Plant in well drained soil in full sun or light shade. deadhead to promote more flowering. This is a nice tall plant for the
prairie garden with great foliage texture- at least in my opinion. I like the soft appearance of this plant with the flowers mixed in and atop
the clumps. Easily grown and long lived, grows well even in part shade. Effective used along the edge of the woods. Zones 4-8.
