Description

A beautiful long blooming wildflower, Prairie Coreopsis (Coreopsis palmata) has unusual pale yellow flowers that start in late spring. Native to the Midwest, this tough yet beautiful species is especially valuable for poor soil and dry areas. Prairie Coreopsis is best used for planting in naturalistic gardens, wildflower meadows, and other sites where it can spread via underground rhizomes to form colonies of plants. The plant grows in a wide range of soil types, except heavy clay, and thrives in full sun. Once established, resist giving the plants too much water or fertilizer to prevent flopping, untidy plants. Recommended companion plants include ornamental grasses like Grama Grass (Bouteloua), Little Bluestem Grass (Schizachyrium), Blue Flax (Linum), and Penstemon.
