North American Native Wildflowers: Our beautiful wild Coreopsis species, and how they've been improved. The Coreopsis group is one of the great gifts of North America to the plant world. Almost all the species of Coreopsis that the world now knows and loves are North American native wildflowers. The following ones are particularly famous, and all these are native over most of the eastern states.
Plains Coreopsis, C. tinctoria, also called Calliopsis, is a much-loved wild annual and is a mainstay of wildflower meadow seed mixtures. (See seed in our Wildflower Encyclopedia)
Lanceleaf Coreopsis, C. lanceolata is the famous perennial golden daisy that decorates fields over almost the whole east. (See seed in our Wildlfower Encyclopedia)
The Rosy Coreopsis, C. rosea is another wild perennial which is finer-leaved than Lanceleaf, and has been hybridized into some of the best new colors and forms.
Thread Leaf Coreopsis, C. verticillata is a small delicate-appearing perennial wildflower with fine leaves and stems. This one has been made into many popular garden hybrids, most famous being Moonbeam, a huge hit when it hit the gardening market.
Tickseed Coreopsis C. grandiflora is a common southern native and has golden flowers 1 to 2 1/2 inches across.
Since these wonderful plants are North American natives, their hybrids are right at home in your perennial gardens.

"I placed them behind low growing shrubs. It added depth and color."
"This coreopsis is a very pretty pink and white. I finally have a perfect plant for the windy area along my driveway. They also flowered for months - summer through fall. They spread nicely the first year and I'm buying more."
"Beautiful Berry Chiffon Coreopsis plant. Never saw one of these before. Lots of bubs cover the whole plant. Pictures are from arrival on 4/2022 to 8/24/2022 and there is still lots of buds to yet bloom. Can't go wrong with this one. Great Plant from American Meadows. Love it."
"I just bought and planted this Coreopsis this year and was surprised by how quickly it not only acclimated to my garden but by how prolifically it grew. It almost appears mature in how large the plant grew and how many blooms I am currently enjoying on it. It has been a stunning addition to my perennial garden."
"My flowers turned yellow during the growing season however have really blossomed into a great plant. It looks a bit "weedy" without the blooms however I am quite happy with the number of flowers and height they have matured to! We have quite a bit of high winds come through and they have not withheld the wind great but have improved once we shelter them with other tall plants to shelter them."
"Our ungrateful local rabbits didn't even have the decency to say "Thank You" as they quickly ate these tiny plants. Can't send a picture -- nothing remained."
"I bought three plants, planted them in full sun - sandy soil here in Central Florida, and they are doing great! So far they are drought tolerant. . . I'm not so great on watering. Their blooms are about one and a half inches across and so pretty - just like the photos!"
"I bought one of these at a well respected nursery here and like it so much I ordered two tiny plants from AM. They all went in the ground at the same time and in the same place and the AM plants are easily 30% larger. Beautiful blooms. Very easy to take care of and needs little watering. . I usually toss 1/2 gallon on them once a week and they did GREAT in full sun all summer."
