Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Notes

Lanceleaf coreopsis have bright yellow flowers with lobed petals arrayed like daisies. Blooms late spring to mid to late summer (deadheading will help to prolong the season). Plants grow about 1 to 2 feet tall and maybe 18 inches wide, with the foliage mostly concentrated near the base. there are many cultivars of this species available, varying in height and color. Use in perennial borders or more naturally styled settings.
