Lanced-leaved Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) is a long-blooming native wildflower prized for its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers and adaptability to a wide range of landscape conditions. Native to much of the eastern and central United States, this perennial typically grows 1 to 2 feet tall and forms clumps of narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Blooming from late spring into early summer, its flowers provide nectar for butterflies, native bees, and other pollinators.
