Coreopsis major
Greater Tickseed, Whorled-Leaf Coreopsis Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
There aren't many wildflowers for shady spots that flower in summer but here is one. Greater Tickseed is a 3 foot, upright, open grower with 2 inch yellow daisy-like flowers from early to mid summer. It grows naturally in open, dryish woods from Florida to Ohio. It can take sun or shade and dry or average soil. Its leaves appear to be 6-whorled at the nodes when actually they are opposite, paired, and 3-cleft. Greater Tickseed provides cheerful, unassuming color in places that are sometimes considered difficult. Companions might include River Oats, Blue Star, Columbine, and any of the Heucheras. Cat# 1065
