Everwilde Farms - 1/4 lb Prairie Coreopsis Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Seemingly imbued with sunshine, this native perennial will brighten any garden or planting. This species takes a little more time to grow than other types of Coreopsis but is used extensively in prairie restorations. This plant's blazing brightness and heat-loving, drought tolerant growth has made it one of the most well known native wildflowers, as well as being a popular choice of beginning gardeners and master gardeners alike. The genus name Coreopsis, derived from the Greek "koris," refers to the resemblance of the seeds to bedbugs. The flowers in this family have become especially well loved by the citizens of the state of Florida, who appointed Coreopsis as their official state wildflower in 1991.
