This wildflower is native to the mountains of South Carolina and neighboring states. It is considered to be rare throughout its small range. It develops into an open clump of upright, leafy stems. Its leaves are broad and undivided. The bright yellow daisies attract bees and other insect pollinators. Birds feed on the seeds. This species is not often cultivated and little information is available about its performance in the garden. It seems to be best suited for a shady, moist, naturalistic garden. 

This species was formerly included in the genus, Coreopsis.
