Small specimen plant in wet areas.  Does well in bog gardens and rain gardens or bioswales.

Coreopsis is the State wildflower. Cultivated flower beds, wildflower gardens, meadows, and butterfly gardens.

To see how crossvine gets its common name, cut a mature stem and you'll see that the pith is cross-shaped. Climbs using tendrils with adhesive disks. Tall climbing vine. Works well on a trellis and can also be allowed to grow up trees. High-climbing, twining, clings by tendrils.
