Coreopsis (Coreopsis Lanceolata) - Commonly called Lanceleaf Coreopsis, this perennial is native to a large portion of the United States. Propagated from Coreopsis flower seed, this golden colored perennial is used in many natural settings, beautification of fields, and in the flower garden as well. This clumping Coreopsis plant produces masses of 2 inch golden yellow, fringed blooms that have a reddish brown eye. The long, shiny lance-shaped leaves are nearly 4 inches long, and the foliage provides a wonderful back-drop for the lovely yellow blooms.
Lanceleaf Coreopsis is also known as Tickseed Coreopsis. It is tolerant of either moist or dry conditions. It is recommended to deadhead to encourage continual bloom until the first frost. Coreopsis flowers will reseed, so leave some spent flower heads if this is desired.
Directly sow Coreopsis flower seed outdoors in late fall into a prepared seed bed. Soil should be loosened and weed free. Press the Coreopsis flower seed into the soil and lightly cover it. Keep the Coreopsis seed moist until germination.
