This 6 to 12 feet tall deciduous shrub gets its name from the silky hairs found on its twigs and leaf undersides. Clusters of yellowish white flowers bloom in the late spring to early summer, followed by drupes that change from white to blue and attract birds. It grows in full sun to partial shade, but can tolerate almost full shade, and prefers moist, slightly acidic soils.
This perennial herb is also known as Tall Coreopsis, growing 3 to 9 feet in height. Its bright yellow flowers bloom in the summer and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, as well as birds. This plant grows best in partial shade, and in moist to dry sands.
