Plant information

Lance-leaf coreopsis brings cheerful, sunny yellow blooms to the garden from late spring right through summer, giving pollinators a reliable nectar source during those important early months. This one loves full sun and thrives in dry to average, well-drained soil, making it a great pick for a tough spot where other perennials struggle. It grows in tidy clumps about 1 to 2 feet tall and spreads readily, so it's a good choice if you want low-maintenance color to fill in a sunny bed.

A quick note on native range: lance-leaf coreopsis isn't native to New England, its natural range sits just south and west of us, but it's widely planted here and offers real ecological value. It's a strong nectar source for native bees and butterflies, and its seeds feed goldfinches and other songbirds through fall and winter. If you're building a garden that's strictly regional-ecotype natives only, this one's worth skipping in favor of a New England native alternative. But if you're open to near-native species that still support local wildlife, lance-leaf coreopsis is an easy, generous performer to have in the mix.

A	Seed should germinate when sown in a warm location.
B	Hot water treatment: Bring water to a boil, remove from heat, pour over seeds, and soak for 24 hours.. Generally this is for seed with a thick seedcoat.
C	(# of days of cold moist stratification) Seeds germinate after a period of cold, moist stratification. Mix seeds with a handful of damp vermiculite or clean sand (moist—but not wet). Place mixture in a sealed plastic bag and store in a refrigerator, NOT the freezer.
D	Sow on the surface of the soil. Generally these seeds are very small.
E	These seeds need a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 60-90 day cold, moist period.
F	These seeds need a 60-90 day cold, moist period followed by a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 2nd cold, 60-90 day moist period.
G	Highest germination rate in cool soil.
H	Seeds need scarification: One way this can be achieved is to rub the seed between two sheets of sand paper. If code "C" is also called for, scarify first.
I	Legume Inoculant (more info next year).
J	Legume seeds (more info next year).
K	Parasitic species which needs a host plant.
L	Plant fresh seed or keep seed moist.
M	Best results when seed sown outdoors in the fall for a natural winter.
