Coreopsis tinctoria

Also known as Plains Coreopsis, Golden Tickseed, Garden Tickseed, Calliopsis

Plains coreopsis brightens summer meadows and open prairies with striking multi-colored rays that feature rich crimson centers edged in vivid yellow. This rapid-growing annual produces abundant daisy-like blooms on slender, branching stems that sway easily in the breeze. Native pollinators rely heavily on its abundant nectar and pollen throughout the hottest months of the year.
