Lanceleaf Coreopsis

Lanceleaf Coreopsis is a perennial forb native to North Texas. It grows best in full sun with low water needs.

Lanceleaf Coreopsis brings bright yellow flowers to Texas gardens from April through July. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves give it a fine texture that contrasts well with broader-leaved plants. It is drought-tolerant once established and handles a range of soils.

Place Lanceleaf Coreopsis toward the front or middle of a bed. It works well with Black-eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, and native grasses. It may reseed; deadhead if you want to control spread. In HOA neighborhoods, its compact form and cheerful flowers read as intentional.

This plant attracts butterflies and bees. It is low-maintenance and long-blooming. Pair it with Mealy Blue Sage for a blue-and-yellow combo that pollinators love. Fall planting gives roots time to establish before summer heat.
