Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata), also known as lanceleaf tickseed, is a vibrant perennial that brightens gardens with its yellow daisy-like flowers, blooming from March to August. Native to regions from Florida to eastern Texas and extending north to Virginia, Ontario, and beyond, this hardy plant adapts well to various habitats including open woodlands, prairies, and meadows. It thrives in a range of conditions from full sun to shaded areas and is drought-tolerant, preferring sandy or gravelly soils but also thriving in loam and clay. Lanceleaf Coreopsis is highly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators, making it a valuable nectar source. It can self-sow and spread aggressively, adding to its versatility as a garden plant.
