Coreopsis major
Greater tickseed
Greater tickseed (Coreopsis major) and many other members of the Asteraceae are common Piedmont roadside inhabitants. This plant typically only reaches up to 3 feet in height. But with its striking, large yellow flowers, greater tickseed can stand out along roadside edges. Unlike species like Wild Quinine, the native range of Greater tickseed only extends into Louisiana and not into the Mid-West plains.
