OT -Coreopsis gigantea

Coreopsis has been growing for decades here in the Garden.
It seeds so readily that we tend to ignore the seeds and
just dig up seedlings. Although it 'grows like a weed' for
us, it is not necessarily a nice garden plant. It must be in
well drained soil and then kept near bone dry in summer and
probably doesn't tolerate frost. My wife objects to having a
dead looking plant in the yard for much of the year.
