Coreopsis mattfeldii Sherff
Coreopsis mattfeldii is a little-known member of the tickseed genus, a group of daisy-family plants centred on the Americas and grown chiefly for their bright, long-lasting flowers. Like its relatives it would be expected to bear daisy-shaped, typically yellow flowerheads on slender stems above narrow leaves, though detailed, reliable information on this particular species is scarce.
About
Coreopsis mattfeldii is a little-known member of the tickseed genus, a group of daisy-family plants centred on the Americas and grown chiefly for their bright, long-lasting flowers. Like its relatives it would be expected to bear daisy-shaped, typically yellow flowerheads on slender stems above narrow leaves, though detailed, reliable information on this particular species is scarce.
It is not a British native; the genus belongs to the New World and is encountered here only as a cultivated ornamental. Tickseeds in general prefer an open, sunny position on light, well-drained soil and flower over a long summer season, when their open blooms are readily visited by bees and hoverflies, which is why the genus features so often in annual and pollinator seed mixes. Because firm botanical detail for this name is limited, it is best grown and described with that uncertainty in mind.
