Lanceleaf Coreopsis- Coreopsis lancelata

Bloom-Lanceleaf Coreopsis
Golden yellow rays of flowers in spring to summer. The 1 1/2 inch blooms atop 1-2 foot clumps will repeat bloom if you take care to deadhead old flowers. Any spent blooms left will happily reseed themselves and you can end up with a full colony of coreopsis.

Mature plants will benefit from fall dividing, just in time to share them among friends. Visiting pollinators, nectar loving insects, as well as song birds for ripe seeds, will also be happy you made room in your garden. This easy plant is drought tolerant.
