LANCELEAF COREOPSIS
SKU: 2363-020
Coreopsis lanceolata, commonly known as lanceleaf coreopsis, lanceleaf tickseed, lance-leaved coreopsis, or sand coreopsis, is a North American perennial plant. It is native to the eastern and central parts of the United States and naturalized in Canada, the western United States, Mesoamerica, South America, South Africa and eastern Australia. Under natural conditions, it is found in open woodlands, prairies, plains, glades, meadows, and savannas.
Sometimes attaining a height of over 60 cm (2 ft), the plant produces yellow flower heads. The flowers bloom April to June. Many insects are attracted to the plant's nectar and pollen, including bees, wasps, butterflies, moths, flies, and beetles. Birds and small mammals eat the achenes. The plant can form colonies.
Coreopsis lanceolata is useful for pollinator restoration in large urban cities, providing a food source for animals that drink the nectar and/or eat the seed. It requires little maintenance.
