Coreopsis, sometimes called "maiden's eye," has graced North American gardens for generations. Prized for its abundant blooms, it was often cultivated near entrances or in flowerbeds of rural homes as a symbol of warmth and welcome.

Although not traditionally used in cooking or herbalism, some indigenous cultures used infusions from coreopsis tinctoria (a related species) for ritual or mild medicinal purposes.

Even today, its luminous presence in a bouquet evokes the lingering summer, the simplicity of time-honored traditions, and the elegance of a garden where tradition is expressed through everyday beauty. Its dried flowers also retain their vibrancy, extending the sunny atmosphere into the home.
