Excluding Sales Tax
Large Coreopsis is a 1' to 2' tall native perennial featuring large 2" wide bright yellow daisy-like flowers in loose terminal clusters. This attractive wildflower is easily established, preferring dry to medium soils in full sun, but is drought tolerant and will perform well in some partial shade. Large Coreopsis is well suited for wildflower gardens and meadow plantings and spreads by stolons and readily self-seeds. Song birds and game birds utilize the seed and it is a good pollinator plant. Seed from this collection is made possible in cooperation with the Cherokee National Forest. Prices listed are based on pure live seed weight, not bulk weight.
