In the first half of the growing season, Tall Coreopsis grows moderately without flowers and is generally unnoticed. It can only be identified by its unique leaves. But in late July and August the plant shoots skyward above the tall grasses.
The species is easily grown in prairie restorations and prairie gardens.
Various songbirds consume the seeds in autumn and winter.
