Anacis tripteris
Also called Tall Coreopsis, Atlantic Coreopsis
Tall tickseed is a native North American perennial daisy with yellow flower heads, growing up to about 1 to 2 metres tall. It thrives in moist, sunny conditions such as streambanks and wet meadows.
Anacis tripteris (synonym Coreopsis tripteris) is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is widespread across much of eastern and central North America from the Florida Panhandle west as far as eastern Texas and north to Québec and Ontario. Its common names include tall tickseed, tall coreopsis, and Atlantic coreopsis.
This perennial herb usually reaches nearly 100 cm (40 inches) in height, sometimes approaching 200 cm (80 inches). The leaves are mostly divided into 3 leaflets which are smooth-edged to lobed and several centimeters long. The flower heads have yellow ray florets 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) long, or longer. The center of the head has many disc florets in shades of reddish brown to purplish. It produces short, stout rhizomes.
