LANCELEAF COREOPSIS
Summary
Lanceleaf coreopsis, also known as tickseed, is a native perennial wildflower common in the United States and can be grown in widely diverse geographic and climatic regions. Lanceleaf prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade. The blooms are bright yellow and daisy-like measuring 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Lanceleaf is very drought tolerant and can survive quite well on infertile soils. It is most widely used in landscape plantings, roadside plantings, and prairie restorations. Lanceleaf is one of the easiest perennial wildflowers to establish.
