Lance-Leaved Coreopsis Seeds (Coreopsis lanceolata) — US Native Wildflower
Lance-Leaved Coreopsis is a bright, dependable native wildflower prized for its golden-yellow, daisy-like blooms and long spring display. Blooming from late spring into early summer, this cheerful perennial brings effortless color to gardens, meadows, and naturalized plantings. Its airy form and vivid flowers make it just as at home in a tidy landscape as in a relaxed wildflower setting.
 
Well adapted to heat, sun, and well-drained soils, Coreopsis lanceolata thrives in much of the eastern and southeastern United States, including Florida, where it is especially beloved for its reliability and low maintenance nature. Once established, it is drought tolerant, long-lived, and gently reseeds, creating natural drifts over time without becoming aggressive. A favorite of native bees and butterflies, this species combines beauty with real ecological value.
