Coreopsis grandiflora Also known as dyer's coreopsis, plains coreopsis, calliopsis, or tickseed. This annual is native to Canada and much of the USA. This underrated and low-maintenance plant thrives in the prairies, due to its drought resistance and cool weather tolerance. This happy bloomer is so easy to grow. Grows very quickly. Deadheading or cutting flower stems off encourages the plants to become more bushy and put out more blooms. Plants grow up to 4 feet tall and produce masses of vibrant flowers that are golden yellow with maroon centers. Great for pollinators, especially native pollinators such as mason bees. Long-tongued bees, short-tongued bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, and beetles are known to enjoy this plant. Makes a really pretty cut flower with long vase life. Stems are long and sturdy. Can be used to naturally dye wool. Easy to save seeds from in the fall, and will readily self-seed itself. Unwanted seedlings can be easily worked under in the spring. Deer resistant 200+ seeds

Tube Beardtongue thrives in medium to dry soils and full to partial sun. In its native range, this Beardtongue can be found in oak savannas, prairies, and openings in upland woodlands or thinly wooded bluffs. Growing to a height of 3 feet, this clump-forming perennial is the perfect addition to a maintained garden or prairie. The tall stalks of white flowers that bloom from May to July are a favorite for many pollinators. Long-tongued bees, Swallowtail butterflies, and Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are frequent visitors. These trumpet-shaped white flowers make way for beet-colored red seed pods that are perched atop bright red stems. Also called Trumpet Beardtongue, White Wand Beardtongue, or Prairie Beardtongue.
