Dwarf Red Coreopsis (Tickseed)Coreopsis tinctoria (Asteraceae)
A hardy, upright annual forb, and very easy to grow from seed throughout much of North America. This dainty little plant will burst alive in the spring covered with mahogany-red flowers. An ideal variety for mass plantings or as an accent in the garden. Prefers full sun in various soils, even soggy areas.
