Lance-leaved tickseed ( Coreopsis lanceolata) of the family Asteraceae, is native to North America in the the southern Appalachian states and may be found in wider distribution from Canada to Mexico. Features solitary, yellow, daisy-like flowers (1-2" diameter) with eight yellow rays (toothed at the tips) and flat yellow center disks. Narrow, hairy, lance-shaped leaves.
Unknown medicinal uses but entire plant is edible. The flowers can be used to produce a yellow-toned natural dye much like its cousin, Coreopsis tinctora.
Grown in my (uncertified) organic and veganic garden, price is for approximately .15lb of plant cut bunch - stems and flowers (under a quarter pound)
Must combine with another item for shipping - $55 minimum order.

Mad for Mushrooms is dedicated to the proliferation and learning of wild foods and natural ecosystems. Predominantly foraged, I focus on offering unusual, and wildly delicious foodstuffs for regional chefs and restaurants. Collaboration is essential to the work, outside of foraging and sharing knowledge, I am interested in product development, and alternative applications of biomimetics. As a vendor with Foraged Market, I hope to reach a wider audience, exciting more minds and mouths with nutritionally dense wild food products. The majority of items will be sourced in the forests and hillsides of the Ohio River Valley. However, when indicated, certain items have been successfully wild-grown in my organic, vegan, urban garden to offer a greater variety.
Please visit the shop to see what we hope to discover, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
