Plants will spread by rhizomes, but reseeding will not occur. “Jethro Tull" is a compact golden-yellow coreopsis that grows in an upright, outward-spreading mound to only 18" tall. Cut back dormant plant material during the winter months. Attracts butterflies and bees. Makes a good cut flower. Not attractive to deer. Will work planted in a container.
