Coreopsis
Coreopsis is a genus of beautiful flowering plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. These herbaceous perennials are native to North and South America and are widely known for their bright and cheerful daisy-like flowers. Coreopsis plants have delicate, fern-like foliage that serves as a lovely backdrop for their vibrant flowers. The flowers come in various colors, including shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink. They are not only attractive to humans but also highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Common Species and Cultivars: There are many species and cultivars of Coreopsis available for gardening and landscaping purposes. Some popular ones include:
- Coreopsis grandiflora (Large-Flowered Coreopsis): A classic species with large, bright yellow flowers.

Care Tips:

- Soil: Well-draining soil is essential for coreopsis. They can tolerate various soil types, including sandy and rocky soils.
