Largeflower Tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora) Plant - Flowering Plants. The Largeflower Tickseed botanically belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family and is native to areas of North America. It is a herbaceous, perennial and deciduous plant, with a fast growth rate, rounded shape and upright habit, with a dense canopy and a height of about 70 cm. The green-coloured leaves are simple, lanceolate to narrowly elliptical, with entire margins. The rich and particularly ornamental flowering usually occurs from early summer to early autumn with beautiful yellow flowers, borne on a head (capitulum) inflorescence. The Largeflower Tickseed is a fairly easy to grow plant, adaptable to a variety of environments. However, it thrives in poor, sandy or rocky soils and is resistant to heat, humidity and drought. It can be used in many ways, such as as a border plant, rock garden plant or planted with other herbs to create colour and other compositions. Still, thanks to its resistance to sea spray droplets, it is even planted in coastal gardens.
► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large plants are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
