Identification

• Most varieties of coreopsis have yellow flowers on long, leafless stalks with a few producing pink blooms. The majority of the plants grow about 2 feet, but because of the many species, the sizes can vary widely. Some tall varieties grow up to 4 feet while others have shorter mounding growth habits. All are bushy with daisylike flowers and green foliage. In the fall, the foliage provides additional interest when the leaves dry and turn cinnamon brown with a fine-textured appearance.
