Additional Information about Coreopsis lanceolata
This plant grows in tidy clumps of light green, slightly hairy foliage that add texture even when not in bloom.
Lanceleaf Coreopsis is as tough as it is beautiful—tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and even deer browsing, making it an ideal low-maintenance choice for a wide range of garden settings. It's especially well-suited for naturalized areas, pollinator gardens, meadows, or any open space where it can spread and thrive. Its bright blooms are irresistible to butterflies and other pollinators, making it both an ornamental and ecological asset to the garden.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Coreopsis lanceolata
It grows best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil, though overly rich soil can cause it to sprawl. This plant thrives in sandy or rocky conditions and may self-seed aggressively. Deadheading spent blooms helps reduce self-seeding and promotes continued flowering. To keep plants vigorous, divide every 2–3 years. If they begin to sprawl, a hard cutback will help refresh their shape.
