NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For garden tickweed there is only one vouchered location, within the town limits of Blanca at the base of Mt. Blanca (Costilla Co, 2001). BONAP also shows Alamosa Co, with no vouchers in SEINet. It is often cultivated in home gardens. Coreopsis tinctoria may be native to the Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest, and Texas, and adventitious in all other states of the USA, excluding Nevada but including Colorado. There are scattered records from the Rio Grande drainage in New Mexico, in ditches and alkaline playas, and the plant's presence grows more and more wide spread through Texas to the Gulf of Mexico.
