Growing 4-8' tall, this stunning wildflower stands out in prairies, dry open woods, and along roadside and railroad tracks. Bright yellow, daisy-like blooms sit atop slender, erect stems, and remind many of Black-Eyed Susan's.' The tallest of the Coreopsis species and with slightly smaller blooms, this wildflower is most impressive when grown in colonies rather than as a stand-alone specimen. With spicy, anise-scented foliage, this variety is a favorite! Bees and butterflies also love them!
