Coreopsis rosea Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Asterids Order: Asterales Family: Asteraceae Genus: Coreopsis Species: C. rosea Binomial name Coreopsis rosea Coreopsis rosea is a plant species of the genus Coreopsis in Asteraceae. Coreopsis species are commonly called tickseeds. It is native to eastern North America, in a number of Atlantic states and Nova Scotia, Canada.[1] It grows in wet areas such as marsh edges.[2] Unlike most Coreopsis species, the ray florets are pink to white (instead of yellow).[2] The only other Coreopsis species with pink rays is C. nudata; C. rosea does not seem to be closely related to Coreopsis species which merely have red dots at the base of the rays.[3]
