Also known as Lanceleaf Coreopsis, Lance-leaved Coreopsis, Lanceleaf Tickseed, Sand Coreopsis
Lanceleaf coreopsis, known as Coreopsis lanceolata, is a charming wildflower from Texas. This delightful plant can reach up to 2 feet tall and thrives in prairies, meadows, fields, and along roadsides. Its beautiful solitary yellow flowers resemble cheerful daisies, featuring eight lovely yellow rays surrounding a flat, sunny center disk. The flowers bloom from spring to early summer, proudly standing on slender, upright stems.
The leaves of this plant are narrow and lance-shaped, covered with tiny hairs, and typically cluster near the base in appealing tufts. The lower leaves are mostly entire, while the smaller ones may have a delicate, pinnately lobed appearance. The seeds of coreopsis plants are often endearingly referred to as lance-leaf tickseed, due to their resemblance to little ticks. Fortunately, there are many fantastic cultivars of this species available for garden lovers.
Caring for these plants is a breeze. They thrive happily in well-drained soil with dry to medium moisture and absolutely love full sun. They’re quite adaptable, flourishing in poor, sandy, or rocky soil with excellent drainage, and they can handle heat, humidity, and dry spells quite well. To keep them blooming beautifully and prevent self-seeding, it’s a good idea to deadhead the spent flower stalks. They self-seed generously and can naturalize beautifully to create large, vibrant colonies under ideal conditions. If the foliage starts to sprawl or looks a bit unruly, don’t hesitate to give the plant a good trim during summer. And if you have them in borders, remember to divide them every 2-3 years to keep them strong and healthy.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
