Coreopsis Verticillata

The Coreopsis verticillata is a hardy, perennial, herbaceous plant, a native of North America, producing its blossoms, which are uncommonly shewy, from July to October, and is readily propagated by parting its roots in Autumn.It grows to a great height, and is therefore rather adapted to the shrubbery than the flower garden.Clayton remarks, that the petals, though of a yellow colour, are used by the inhabitants to dye cloth red.
