Description:
Lance-leaved Coreopsis, also known as Lanceleaf Tickseed, Sand Coreopsis or Coreopsis lanceolate, is a perennial wildflower that features bright yellow petals. It forms clumps with short rhizomes and blooms in the summer. Preferring full sun, it can also tolerate light shade. Although it thrives in well-drained soil, it can adapt to various soil types. In North America, it is commonly found growing on dry, infertile sites.
 
Lance-leaved Coreopsis is moderately drought-tolerant and is primarily used for landscape enhancement. It is well-suited for cultivated garden settings, naturalized prairie or meadow plantings, and roadside beautification.
