Description
Lance Leaved Coreopsis Seeds 6900.
Brilliant Yellow Native Perennial for All-Summer Pollinator Colour.
Lance Leaved Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) is a beloved Canadian native perennial prized for its non-stop floral display from June straight through to fall. Rising on erect stems to a height of 60 cm, this resilient wildflower produces mass sweeps of brilliant yellow blooms measuring 2.5 to 5 cm across. A top favourite of native bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators, it works as beautifully in formal garden borders and fresh cut-flower arrangements as it does in wild meadow restorations. Lance Leaved Coreopsis self-seeds readily and features outstanding tolerance to both summer heat and drought.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
One of the easiest and longest-blooming perennials to establish, whether started indoors for first-year flowers or direct-sown into garden beds.
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors in a soilless mix in early spring for blooms in the very first season. Germinate at 24°C for 15 to 20 days. Once sprouted, grow under lights at slightly cooler temperatures before hardening off and transplanting outside after frost risk passes.

Outdoor Direct Sowing: Direct sow from mid-May to early June. Maintain consistent moisture during germination.
-
Fall & Early Spring Sowing: Seeds can also be sown directly outdoors in late fall or early spring to emerge naturally.
-
Maintenance: In formal beds, space plants 30 cm apart. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years to maintain plant vigor.
