Anacis Verticillata

Coreopsis verticillata

Also known as Whorled Tickseed, Threadleaf Coreopsis, Thread-Leaved Tickseed, Pot-of-Gold

Threadleaf coreopsis forms airy, bushy mounds of needle-fine foliage topped by an abundance of bright yellow flower heads from midsummer into early autumn. Spreading gradually by slender underground rhizomes, it thrives in dry, open woodlands and rocky clearings where sunny conditions discourage taller competitors. The long-lasting blooms provide an abundant source of nectar and pollen for diverse native bees, while the dry autumn seedheads offer nutritious forage for songbirds.
