The flower heads contain ray florets up to 2.5 centimeters long, or sometimes longer.[6] They are yellow, and generally a paler shade of yellow than related native Coreopsis.[4] The center of the head has many disc florets that bloom yellow and darken as they dry.[6] The plants flower in summer[6] and the herbage may age red in the fall.[5]

It is native to the central United States and central Canada, mostly the Mississippi Valley and adjacent areas from Louisiana north to Manitoba and east into southwestern Michigan. The native habitat of this species includes woods, disturbed prairies, roadsides, rocky ridges, and prairie.[5][6]
