Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) is a perennial forb native to Eastern and Central US states (such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, and Michigan) that can thrive in USDA Zones 3–9. Reaching a mature height of 1–2 feet with a bushy, erect clumping growth habit, it features lance-shaped green leaves and produces bright golden-yellow daisy-like flower heads with notched petal tips. It thrives in dry, sandy or rocky well-drained soils in full sun and is ideal for roadside erosion control, ecological restoration, and native pollinator habitat plots.
This is a perennial herb that grows about 6 to 12 inches tall. It is used as forage for livestock and as a groundcover to improve soil fertility due to its nitrogen-fixing abilities. This plant prefers full sun or partial shade and grows well in moist meadows, pastures, and lawns.
