This wildflower was formerly known as Coreopsis tripteris. Its bright yellow daisies are about two inches wide. The leaves are divided into three to five segments. It thrives in rich, moist soils and tends to grow shorter in drier sites. It spreads slowly by rhizomes. It is reported that the tall stems tend to flop in cultivation. Cutting the stems back in early summer or staking can keep it upright in the garden. It is well-suited to large, naturalistic spaces. The flowers attract an assortment of insect pollinators and birds eat its seeds. It is reported to be deer resistant.
