Details
The bright yellow, daisy-like flowers are about 1 1/2" in diameter and bloom singly on long stems. A North American native, Lance-Leaved Coreopsis is famous for its golden blooms that last from summer all the way into fall. Deer resistant and tolerant of partial shade, this perennial wildflower is a low-maintenance way to bring major color anywhere. A great choice for dry areas and poor soils.
