Questions and Answers
Both flowers and leaves are very attractive. This species, along with other
Coreopsis
species, is great for attracting bees in the early- to mid-growing season. Many of the domestic coreopsis varieties are derived from this species.
When you visit us in May or June, you can see how native plants can beautify the highways as lanceleaf coreopsis blooms for miles along highway 54. It is easy to grow from seed and makes a good nurse crop for prairie and glade restoration projects.

Great plant!
This is a beautiful plant with beautiful flowers that bloom many weeks at the most beautiful time of year. Very hardy !! An individual plant will spread to a nice cluster in a few seasons. Needs deadheading, but other than that there is absolutely no maintenance required.

Q:
Is the lanceleaf a perennial?
Asked by:
Ron
- 4/2/2018
A:
Yes, it is a perennial. In a seeding project, it may diminish considerably after 6 to 8 years as other species mature and take over. This quality makes it a nice cover crop for early color.

Q:
Do Coreopsis lanceolata and Coreopsis grandiflora hybridize by natural cross-pollination? If so, what kind of special considerations are necessary to save seed if you want them to stay true?
Asked by:
Daniel
- 7/14/2017
A:
It's not likely. The Flora of Missouri doesn't mention any hybridization, and we've never noticed it. However, there is a lot of variation within each species. You could have two lanceleaf coreopsis and one could have lots of hairs while the other is completely smooth.

Q:
I'm considering using Lanceleaf Coriopsis seed as a cover crop to suppress weeds, then , will plant prairie dropseed in the fall as the permanent planting. I haven't cold stratified the seed yet, so, it would be the first of April before I would apply the seed. Is this to late to start the coreopsis ? Or, should I skip the stratification and apply the seed soon?
