Description
The perfect plant for a wildflower garden or where you want a colorful plant to naturalize and form large colonies by self-seeding, Lanceleaf Coreopsis is a very easy-to-grow North American native perennial that thrives in any well-drained soil, even sandy or rock soils on the side of the road! It's also heat, humidity and drought tolerant, but also very cold tolerant. It can be grown in flower gardens but if you don't want it to self-sow then deadheading will be necessary. From late spring to mid or late summer. golden yellow daisy-like flowers with eight yellow rays that surround a golden center disk are perched atop 2 feet tall stems clothed in narrow, lance-shaped leaves, hence the name. The butterflies and beneficial pollinators will thank you for planting this one but it has no serious problems with pests.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 12 to 24 inches tall, Lanceleaf Coreopsis is ideal for use native wildflower gardens, meadows or prairies. Good plant for areas with poor, dry soils so can be grown on rocky slopes and the side of the road. Can be effective in perennial gardens but flowers will have to be deadheaded if you don't want the plant to self-sow.

Growing Preferences
Lanceleaf Coreopsis is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to dry soil of average to poor fertility and full to mostly sun. That said, it will tolerate a little shade or filtered sun and is highly drought tolerant when established. For best flowering and density of foliage we suggest at least 7 hours of direct sunlight per day. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with bagged top soil or other organic matter to improve drainage.
Plant Long & Prosper!
