Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) is a seasonal plant with yellow blooms from late spring through mid-summer. They prefer mesic to dry soil in sun or part sun where they can grow up to 3 feet tall. They are a good choice for slopes and banks. Companion plants include Purple Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) and Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum).
Maintenance
To prevent aggressive spread by seed, deadhead spent flowers in summer. Where planted, ensure soil is well drained to prevent crown rot.
