Coreopsis tinctoria
“Calliopsis”

If you want a long flower show with almost no bother, this is a wonderful choice. Incredibly long blooming, from June till Fall, it abundantly produces vivid yellow Cosmos-type flowers 2" across, with wine red centers on long wiry stems which move with the wind. This plant loves dry soil and no feeding. Grows 2-3’ tall with a 1’ spread. It also reseeds readily.
