Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata)
Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata), also known as Lanceleaf Tickseed, is an easy-to-grow perennial wildflower with abundant golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers. Blooming from late spring through midsummer, this hardy species brings bright color to sunny meadows, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Lanceleaf Coreopsis is especially well suited to sandy, rocky, and relatively dry planting sites. Its low-maintenance growth habit and ability to self-seed make it a useful addition to meadow plantings and informal perennial borders.

Soil Moisture: Dry to medium
Soil: Well-drained, sandy, rocky, or loamy soils
Height: 1–3 feet
Spread: 1–2 feet
Bloom Time: May–July, occasionally longer
Flower Color: Golden yellow
Hardiness Zones: 4–9
Growth Habit: Clump-forming, short-lived perennial that readily self-seeds
Native Range: Central and eastern North America; introduced and naturalized in Maine
