Coreopsis rosea grows in wet areas such as marsh edges.[3] Unlike most Coreopsis species, the ray florets are pink or white (instead of yellow).[3] The only other Coreopsis species with pink rays is C. nudata; C. rosea does not seem to be closely related to Coreopsis species which merely have red dots at the base of the rays.[4] Disc florets of Coreopsis rosea are bright or pale yellow.[3]
