Coreopsis
Bees love a drift of coreopsis. Gardeners also appreciate the burst of sunny perennial color they keep throughout the summer and into fall.  Set against their ferny foliage, they’re a sea of yellow. Coreopsis is also called tickseed, because its seeds, called achenes, look a bit like little ticks.  In recent years, many different varieties of this native plant have become more widely available at local garden shops.  Low fuss, lots of flair. Want to check out some different types of coreopsis? Click on the following catalog names: Wayside Gardens Shooting Star Nursery
