Coreopsis 'Yellow Lanceleaf'

Lanceleaf Coreopsis has naturalized across much of the Prairies and into the Rocky Mountains. This drought-tolerant perennial thrives in heat and humidity and performs well in containers or just about any garden soil—though it prefers well-drained, nutrient-poor sandy loam.

Stiff, upright stems make it an excellent cut flower. It’s highly attractive to pollinators and beneficial insects. Avoid overwatering, and deadhead regularly for continuous blooms. Once established, it requires very little care.

Also known as Lanceleaf Tickseed or Sand Coreopsis.

Coreopsis adapts to a wide range of soils but prefers well-drained conditions. This perennial may self-sow and spreads slowly via underground rhizomes.
