Coreopsis palmata

Prairie Coreopsis (Coreopsis palmata) is a perennial herb native to prairies and open woodlands. It typically grows in clumps, reaching heights of 1 to 3 feet, and spreads by rhizomes to form colonies. The plant thrives in part-shade and prefers well-drained soils, making it adaptable to a variety of garden settings. Prairie Coreopsis is drought-tolerant once established and requires only moderate watering. Its bright yellow flowers bloom in mid to late summer, attracting pollinators and adding vibrant color to native plant gardens. This hardy species is well-suited for low-maintenance landscapes and restoration projects.
