The species is widely cultivated in China and naturalized there.

Coreopsis grandiflora is a perennial herb sometimes greater than 60 cm (2 feet) tall. It produces yellow ray and disc flowers. Its native habitats include prairies, glades, open woods, thickets, roadsides and open ground. The Latin specific epithet grandiflora means large-flowered. The plant attracts bees and butterflies.
