Coreopsis, commonly known as tickseed, belongs to the Asteraceae family and has been recognized since the 18th century. The genus was first formally described by the botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. However, the plants themselves have likely been known and utilized by indigenous peoples long before their formal classification. Today, there are over 80 species of coreopsis found primarily in North America.

Tall coreopsis (Coreopsis tripteris) is primarily consumed by various herbivores, including deer, rabbits, and certain insects like caterpillars. While these animals may feed on the plant, it is generally considered to be deer-resistant due to its somewhat bitter taste. Additionally, pollinators such as bees and butterflies are attracted to its flowers, but they do not harm the plant. Overall, while some wildlife may eat tall coreopsis, it tends to be less favored than other garden plants.
Yes, coreopsis can spread, but the extent depends on the species and growing conditions. Some types, like Coreopsis tinctoria, are annuals that can self-seed and spread naturally in the garden. Perennial varieties may spread through their root systems or by producing offsets, but they are generally more contained. Regular maintenance, such as deadheading and division, can help manage their spread.
