Tall Coreopsis
coreopsis tripteris
Tall Coreopsis (Coreopsis tripteris) is a stately, native North American perennial wildflower that stands out for its exceptional height and late-summer brilliance. Belonging to the aster family, this robust plant typically towers over neighboring prairie vegetation, producing dense clusters of sunny yellow, daisy-like blossoms that bloom from mid-summer into early autumn. It is highly valued in habitat restoration projects and native gardens alike because of its incredible resilience, low-maintenance nature, and outstanding ability to support diverse pollinator populations during the late season.
Hábitat: Typically found in tallgrass prairies, open woodlands, savannas, thickets, moist meadows, and along sunny roadsides.
Aspecto
This towering perennial reaches heights between 90 and 270 cm. It features smooth, sturdy green stems that often branch near the top. The leaves are distinctive, typically divided into three lance-shaped lobes (trifoliate), giving the foliage a delicate, airy appearance despite the plant's size. Each flower head is about 3 to 5 cm wide, sporting eight bright yellow ray florets surrounding a contrasting dark purplish-brown central disc that releases a faint, pleasant anise scent when bruised.
